Our take
Neutral hosting is the basis of internet connectivity for large groups such as cities, venues and businesses. It builds, funds and manages shared communication infrastructure across multiple network operators, effectively becoming the foundation for wide-scale internet connectivity. Boldyn Networks is a neutral host provider that has been building up a portfolio of companies to become one of the largest of its kind in the world.
Founded in 2023 after spinning out from Boldyn, Boldyn Networks combines various connectivity brands within its portfolio to harness advanced technologies, collaborations and shared infrastructure for its customers. 2024 saw a flurry of acquisitions that consolidated Boldyn Networks as a major player, and it now works across infrastructure, transport, education, military and more to provide high-level internet connectivity.
The company has made a lot of progress over just a single year, including acquisitions of education connectivity providers Apogee, ZenFi Networks, Edzcom, and more. It is now focused on further advancing its interconnectivity services which already span Europe, the US and Hong Kong.
