More About next layer
next layer operates as a telecommunications and infrastructure partner for enterprises, public bodies, and carriers that require dedicated connectivity and data center services within Austria and across selected international routes. The company focuses on providing IP and Ethernet-based services over its own backbone and access infrastructure, targeting scenarios such as multi-site enterprise networking, data center interconnects, and resilient internet access for business-critical applications.
Core networking offerings typically cover business internet access, Layer 2 Ethernet services, and Layer 3 VPNs (networking), which enable organizations to connect branch offices, headquarters, and data centers with defined bandwidth and service parameters. These services are built on carrier-grade technologies such as MPLS and Ethernet over fiber, often combined with redundancy concepts like dual-homing and diverse routing to support availability requirements in enterprise environments.
In the area of managed network and security (network security), next layer provides services such as MPLS-based WANs, SD-WAN architectures, and firewall solutions that integrate branch locations, cloud services, and data centers. These offerings are typically aligned with standardized architectures for secure site-to-site and site-to-cloud connectivity, including support for IPsec tunnels, Virtual LAN (VLAN) segmentation, and traffic prioritization via Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms.
The company’s data center and colocation services (data center infrastructure) give customers physically secure environments for hosting servers, network equipment, and telecom systems. Facilities usually provide redundant power supplies, climate control, fire protection, and structured cabling, enabling enterprises and carriers to operate their own hardware while relying on next layer for the underlying physical infrastructure and connectivity to other sites or third-party networks.
For wholesale and carrier customers (carrier connectivity), next layer offers backbone capacity, wavelength services, and IP transit, as well as interconnection at carrier-neutral locations. These services support other operators that need to extend their reach in Austria or obtain additional capacity on specific routes. Typical underpinning technologies include Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) for wavelength transport and high-capacity IP routing for backbone services.
Consulting and project services (IT services) accompany these technical offerings, from requirements analysis and network design to rollout and ongoing operation. This includes planning resilient topologies, integrating with customer Local Area Network (LAN) and security environments, and coordinating migration projects. Within an enterprise IT marketplace, next layer is positioned in categories such as business connectivity, Wide Area Network (WAN) services, managed network security, colocation, and carrier wholesale transport.
