Reach new sites, partners, and clouds in minutes.
Connecting a new customer site, data center, or AI cluster used to mean new fiber builds, manual negotiations, or complex routing configuration. With MaiaEdge Path Border Controllers, you can extend Layer 2 paths over any transport and establish new connections in clicks.
Deploy at PoPs, data centers, meet-me rooms, or AI clusters and instantly establish private Ethernet paths to new sites, off-net customers, and partner networks.
Deploy at a customer site or tenant location to extend your private network directly to customers. Pairs with the PBC 2000.
An integrated switch deployed alongside a PBC 2000 to add high-density customer ports, managed from the same MaiaEdge UI.
SD-Ethernet lets you create, extend, and control private Ethernet paths over any transport, across your own network and partner networks.

The cloud-native intelligence that finds the best path between PBCs and provisions it automatically.
Establish Layer 2 paths over fiber, DIA, satellite, or 5G. Link to partner PBCs for instant NNIs.
5× easier to operate
“With the PBC 100 Series, we're delivering Layer 2 services to customer sites that simply weren't practical to reach before. Compared with the networking approaches we've used before, it is five times easier to operate, and it opens opportunities we previously could not pursue.”

A technical overview of the MaiaEdge solution. Learn how the Path Border Controller (PBC) and Path Computation Engine (PCE) automate provisioning of Layer 2 services, NNIs, and cloud connectivity.
Compact Path Border Controllers for the customer premises let providers extend private Ethernet to any site and sell more over every connection.

The MaiaEdge Path Border Controller (PBC) is a family of network appliances that operators use to extend encrypted private Ethernet paths over any transport, including fiber, DIA, satellite, and 5G. PBCs deploy at network edges, data centers, meet-me rooms, and customer sites, and connect to other PBCs across your network or partner networks. The family includes the PBC 2000 and the PBC 100 Series.
The MaiaEdge PBC 2000 is a carrier-grade, 1RU Path Border Controller with two 100 GbE ports and 100 Gbps of line-rate encrypted throughput. Operators deploy it at PoPs, data centers, meet-me rooms, and AI clusters to extend private Ethernet to new sites and customers, and to establish NNIs with PBCs on partner networks.
The MaiaEdge PBC 100 Series is a line of compact Path Border Controllers built for the customer premises. Paired with a PBC 2000, it lets network operators automatically extend private Ethernet paths directly to off-net customer locations over any available transport, without new fiber builds, and layer value-added services on top. The PBC 124-C is the first device in the series.
The MaiaEdge PBC 124-C is the first device in the PBC 100 Series: a compact appliance deployed at customer sites, tenant locations, and small PoPs. Paired with a PBC 2000, it enables operators to extend encrypted private Ethernet to that location over any available transport.
The PBC 2000 sits at the operator's PoP or data center, and the PBC 124-C sits at the customer site. From the MaiaEdge UI, the operator provisions an encrypted Layer 2 path between them over any available transport. The customer site gets a private connection in minutes without a new fiber build. The operator can now extend Layer 2 services to sites it couldn't previously reach and layer value-added services on top.
The MaiaEdge Path Computation Engine (PCE) is the part of the MaiaEdge cloud that computes and provisions private Ethernet paths and NNIs across MaiaEdge Path Border Controllers. It automatically selects the best path using real-time metrics, across operator-owned and partner networks.
Software-Defined Ethernet (SD-Ethernet) makes private Layer 2 connectivity programmable across customer sites, data centers, clouds and independent operators. It extends Ethernet over available transport, including fiber, internet, 5G and satellite. Paths are configured automatically, encrypted by default and monitored segment by segment between devices. MaiaEdge delivers SD-Ethernet with Path Border Controllers and the cloud-based Path Computation Engine. Learn more about SD-Ethernet.
MaiaEdge works in two parts. Path Border Controllers (PBCs) are deployed at network edges, data centers, meet-me rooms, or customer locations, and the cloud-native Path Computation Engine (PCE) handles provisioning from there. Operators activate new circuits and sites in minutes from the MaiaEdge UI, with no command-line configuration or routing protocol setup. PBCs can also connect with PBCs on partner networks, so operators can create NNIs anywhere, over any transport, and pass traffic across them with end-to-end visibility and SLA control.
No. MaiaEdge is not a network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider. NaaS providers own and operate their own connectivity fabrics and sell services directly to enterprises. MaiaEdge provides the infrastructure that network operators deploy on their own networks to build and deliver their own private connectivity services. Instead of handing enterprise customers to a third-party provider, operators deliver NaaS-like capabilities themselves and keep the customer relationship, brand, and margin in-house.
No. MaiaEdge deploys alongside existing infrastructure with no rip-and-replace, and core routers and backbone stay unchanged. It adds private Ethernet path provisioning over any transport and across network boundaries, with hop-by-hop visibility and control across every path.
MaiaEdge is built for service providers, data center operators, and AI infrastructure operators. It lets them reach new sites and markets without new builds, automate NNIs and private connectivity, and launch branded, high-margin services such as cloud on-ramps, with full visibility across every path.
MaiaEdge Path Border Controller hardware and the cloud-based software are sold together as one subscription, in 1-, 3-, or 5-year terms, priced by throughput tier. For a quote tailored to your use case, talk to an expert.
