The solution is supported by the global Tier 1 internet network owned and operated by GTT. This ensures the company has high-performance, low-latency connectivity to any location in the world and every application in the cloud. Because the Distrelec website is directly connected to one of the world’s largest internet backbones with Points-of-Presence around the world, shoppers are rarely more than a couple of “hops” away between their own internet service provider’s network and GTT’s network backbone.
