Arelion operates the world's top-ranked IP backbone (AS1299) connecting Europe, North America, and Asia, serving business-critical connectivity for a global customer base. Active projects in GenAI apps, AIOps, and RAG systems suggest infrastructure modernization underway, while pain points around P2P transformation, vendor master data governance, and BI tool adoption indicate a company reworking internal processes to handle scale—not just managing network capacity.
