The Telnyx network is a fully-owned, purpose-built set of multi-cloud points of presence (PoPs) interconnected by a private MPLS fiber backbone. Where other providers’ networks rely on aggregators, single point-of-failure cloud providers, and public internet links, our network guarantees better quality and availability. ### What does multi-cloud networking mean for my application? ### What does a private MPLS fiber backbone mean for me? ### Why is latency so important? **Resources, Docs, Support** ## Programmable Networking hub * ### Telnyx Programmable Networking Overview | Telnyx Introduction [Read more](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/network/overview) * ### Telnyx Programmable Networking VXC Introduction | Telnyx VXC Intro [Read more](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/network/vxc/intro) * ### Telnyx Programmable Networking Internet Gateway (IGW) | Telnyx CAUTION: This is a beta feature [Read more](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/network/gateways/internet-gateway) * ### Account Setup | Telnyx Outlines the process of setting up a Telnyx account.
