MaiaEdge combines a 1RU edge device (PBC) with cloud-native orchestration (PCE) to activate deterministic private paths across network domains automatically.
Path Border Controllers deploy at network boundaries, including carrier hotels, meet-me rooms, and PoPs. The PBC merges L2 switching and L3 routing for transport flexibility across fiber and DIA. The cloud-based Path Computation Engine calculates optimal end-to-end paths and provides hop-by-hop visibility (jitter, loss, latency) across your entire fabric.
With MaiaEdge, providers can activate deterministic private paths automatically, without CLI commands, BGP, OSPF, or MPLS complexity. Each path is secured with line-rate AES-256-GCM IPsec encryption.
No. MaiaEdge sits alongside your existing network infrastructure. It adds automation and visibility capabilities without requiring rip-and-replace.
Your core routers and backbone remain unchanged. MaiaEdge adds what your existing infrastructure cannot provide: instant provisioning across network boundaries and hop-by-hop telemetry on paths you do not fully own.
MaiaEdge serves fiber operators, colocation providers, and service providers who want to automate interconnections, extend reach, and gain visibility across network boundaries.
Fiber operators use MaiaEdge to deliver more than basic connectivity. They automate provisioning, federate with partners to extend reach, and offer cloud on-ramps under their brand.
Colocation providers use MaiaEdge to deliver fabric-like capabilities without years of development. This includes automated cross-connects, tenant self-service portals, and instant cloud connectivity. The PBC pairs with the MaiaEdge Port Extender for 48 additional tenant ports.
Service providers use MaiaEdge to deliver off-net services as seamlessly as on-net. They maintain visibility and sovereignty across partner networks and Type 2 circuits.
