When to use Backbone and Broadband Nodes

Monitor a digital service from outside of the infrastructure it resides in.
Analyze performance excluding the variations brought in by the end user’s network.
Trigger alerts based on variations in performance or availability.
Eliminate alert fatigue

Reduce false positives and false negatives by definitively knowing whether performance issues are happening on the backbone.
Get a view of end user experience without the noise of shared bandwidth contention, mobile dead spots, and other issues on the local access link to external customers.
Trigger alerts based on variations in performance or availability.
Extensive global node coverage

Pinpoint performance degradation from over 200 cities and across over 160 ISPs.
Utilize the world's most reliable node network that is three times larger than any other monitoring provider.
Detect network instability and identify BGP changes, route hijacking, and network flapping.
