FAQs

What type of gaming companies is BSO’s network built for?

BSO’s gaming connectivity is designed for large-scale platforms and infrastructure operators, including global game publishers, online distribution platforms, console networks, cloud gaming providers, and ISPs carrying gaming traffic. It supports organisations operating across multiple regions where latency, routing efficiency, and resilience directly impact player experience.

How does network latency affect online gaming at scale?

In large-scale gaming environments, even small increases in latency can impact matchmaking, real-time gameplay, content delivery, and player retention. Network latency influences how quickly player actions are processed, synchronised, and delivered globally, making optimised routing and proximity to players critical.

How does BSO reduce latency for global gaming platforms?

BSO reduces latency through a combination of a global low-latency backbone, direct peering at major internet exchanges, and optimised routing between regions. This allows gaming traffic to take the shortest and most efficient paths between players, platforms, and backend services.

Is BSO suitable for large platforms like console networks or global publishers?

Yes. BSO works with organisations operating at global scale, including platforms distributing content across multiple continents. Our network supports high traffic volumes, predictable performance, and regional optimisation required by console ecosystems, large publishers, and cloud-based gaming services.

How does peering improve gaming performance?

Peering enables direct traffic exchange between networks, reducing the number of hops data must travel. For gaming, this means faster response times, lower jitter, and more consistent performance—especially during peak usage or live events.

Can BSO support cloud-based and hybrid gaming architectures?

Yes. BSO’s connectivity services integrate with public cloud platforms, private infrastructure, and hybrid environments. This supports modern gaming architectures where game servers, analytics, content delivery, and player services are distributed across multiple clouds and regions.

What regions does BSO support for gaming connectivity?

BSO operates a global network with strong presence across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and key emerging gaming markets. This enables regional optimisation for players in markets such as Japan, Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe.

How does BSO ensure reliability during traffic spikes or launches?

BSO’s network is built with redundancy, protected routes, and real-time monitoring. This ensures stable performance during major game launches, updates, seasonal events, or unexpected traffic surges—when network reliability is most critical.

Is BSO a hosting or game server provider?

No. BSO provides network connectivity and infrastructure services, not game hosting. We focus on transporting gaming traffic efficiently between players, platforms, clouds, and partners, enabling gaming companies to control their own compute and application environments.

How does BSO differ from standard internet connectivity providers?

Unlike generic connectivity providers, BSO specialises in latency-sensitive industries. Our network design, peering strategy, and operational focus are optimised for real-time applications like gaming, financial trading, and cloud services where milliseconds matter.
