Arelion Automates Global Off-Net Access Quoting on The Connected World Platform

Connectbase's Advanced CPQ API integrates live supplier pricing into Salesforce, enabling Arelion to quote off-net access across 130+ suppliers worldwide through a single automated workflow.

BOSTON, November 10, 2026 – Connectbase, the Operating System for Ecosystem Connected Commerce, today announced that Arelion, operator of the world's #1 ranked Tier-1 Internet backbone (AS1299), has moved its global off-net access quoting onto The Connected World Platform.

Using the Buyer Cloud, Arelion now sources and prices last-mile access from more than 130 suppliers across Europe, North America and beyond through a single, automated workflow. This enables Arelion to deliver faster, more accurate quotes to its wholesale and enterprise customers wherever they need to connect.

Automating Global Connectivity Procurement

Arelion serves more than 2,300 customers in nearly 130 countries, and some of their locations sit outside Arelion's own network. To support these requirements, its procurement and sales teams must price third-party access quickly and consistently across hundreds of carriers.

Connectbase's Advanced CPQ API now connects The Connected World Platform directly to Arelion's Salesforce environment. Through a single pricing request, the integration returns real-time supplier pricing and availability from a broad ecosystem of leading regional and national providers.

The result is a faster, more consistent quoting experience for Arelion's teams and the customers they serve.

Expanding Global Connectivity Through Automation

"Arelion runs the most connected backbone on the planet, and its customers expect that same reach when they need access off-net," said Ben Edmond, CEO and Founder of Connectbase. "By bringing its global access buying onto The Connected World Platform, Arelion is turning one of the most manual jobs in wholesale — chasing supplier prices location by location — into an automated, data-driven workflow. We're proud to support a Tier-1 leader of Arelion's caliber and to keep expanding the supplier ecosystem behind every quote they deliver."

"Our customers come to Arelion for premium global connectivity, and increasingly that means delivering a complete solution that extends beyond our own network," said Scott Nichols, Chief Commercial Officer at Arelion. "With Connectbase feeding live supplier pricing directly into our sales tools, our teams can respond to customers faster and with greater confidence in every quote. The Connected World Platform gives us the scale and automation to keep pace with demand as our customers grow."

Advancing the Future of Connected Commerce

Together, Connectbase and Arelion are demonstrating how trusted location data, standardized APIs, and automated workflows can reduce friction in global connectivity procurement.

Building on this foundation, the companies are exploring further capabilities on The Connected World Platform to accelerate how Arelion discovers, quotes, and delivers connectivity for its customers.
