AI interconnect
High-capacity optical transport for AI
Managed wavelengths of up to 400G, and 800G today through your own spectrum after we measure the line on your route. Between AI sites, exchanges and cloud on-ramps across the Middle East, Caucasus and Europe corridor.
Sofia Connect does not operate GPU capacity and does not provide colocation. We are the network between the sites.
Capacity
Built for the volumes AI moves
Training runs, checkpoints and dataset copies move in terabytes. On our DWDM network you either take a managed wavelength, or you take spectrum and light it with your own optics. 800G runs today on spectrum, once we have measured the line parameters on the specific route.

Layer 1
A wavelength is not a faster internet circuit
A lambda is dedicated optical capacity. There is no queueing, no contention and no loss from oversubscription, because the capacity is not shared. That comes from the physics, not from configuration. It is the property distributed work between sites depends on, and it is what separates a wavelength from a well-provisioned IP path.

- deterministic latency
- coherent optics
- 1G / 10G / 100G / 400G
- protection, optional
- 1+1
Power
AI sites are chosen by power. Then by network.
The corridor connects regions with their own generation to the European interconnection hubs. If the power case points east, the network does not have to be the reason it stays west.

Corridor
Where the network runs
DWDM is delivered from all 18 points of presence in 8 countries. Our own equipment is in Bulgaria; the other points are served through partners.
~24.5 ms RTT
Sofia → Frankfurt
~12 ms RTT
Sofia → Istanbul
Caucasus Cable System
Capacity to the Caucasus crosses the Black Sea on the Caucasus Cable System between Balchik and Poti, without transit through Türkiye. We provide it through a partner.
