From five suppliers to one

Multisite is a tangle. We make it one clean line.

Win a multisite customer and the supply chain fights you — a different carrier, contract, portal, SLA and bill per leg. We collapse all of it into one.

How we connect multisite

Many technologies and carriers. One clean design.

Quote, order, deliver and manage multisite estates across 33+ UK networks and 100+ global carriers — internet, cloud, private WAN, protected access and resilient failover, on one platform and one contract.

live pathaggregated carrier

Whatever access each site needs — FTTP, Ethernet, 5G or Starlink, across 33+ UK networks — we aggregate it through our core and out to the internet and your cloud, on one contract.

private / clean🔒 encrypted L2/L3blocked threat

Private WAN, plus protected breakout. Site-to-site traffic stays private on our network; internet egress is filtered for DDoS and malicious domains; and CloudConnect links you privately into AWS, Azure or GCP.

active pathfault → cutover

Primary path carries production. If it fails, traffic cuts over automatically to the diverse backup — a second carrier or 5G — sized to keep trading alive.

clean trafficblocked threat

Optional DDoS and DNS protection sits in the path — volumetric attacks and malicious domains are filtered upstream before they reach your sites.

Built for partners

For the partners who sell connectivity.

MSPs, brokers and resellers all need the same thing: wholesale access they can win deals on and deliver cleanly, with no supplier competing for their customer. We sit behind partners, never in front of them.

For MSPs

Win the deal. Let us run the connectivity.

We aggregate 33+ UK networks and 100+ global carriers behind a single contract — one portal, one NOC, one escalation path. Fill the gaps in your stack where you don't have a direct carrier, alt-net route or international supplier. White-label or branded; we never compete for your customer.

For Brokers

Route the multisite deal to us.

When your enterprise customer needs UK or international multisite delivered cleanly, route it through us. Multi-carrier quoting, live WIP tracking and channel-first commercials — built for partners who sell connectivity, not those who build networks.

White-label,
your customer

The customer relationship is yours — always. Run the portal under your own brand, logo, colour and support contact. IP River stays invisible to your end-client; we never contact, bill or sell to them. You own the customer and the invoice. Co-brand instead if it suits the deal.

How we work

Plain about what we'll do — and what we won't.

The honesty is the differentiator. Where something's validated, we say so and on what basis. Where it isn't, we say that too.

We will

✓Run the UK and international legs behind your brand — and never contact your customer.
✓Tell you what's confirmed, designed, logical or best-available diversity — never dress one up as another.
✓Send our own engineers, single-visit where we can, with an evidenced handover per site.
✓Give you one contract, one portal, one NOC and one escalation path across every carrier.

We won't

✕Call a contended consumer line "diverse" because it's cheaper.
✕Subcontract your install to intermediaries we can't vouch for.
✕Claim a single pane of glass showing every failure domain — that's on the roadmap, not in place today.
✕Compete with you for the customer. Ever.

Operational depth

Multisite deals fall over on execution. We do the hard part.

Hands-on across migrations, installs, managed hardware, onsite engineers and complex multi-site rollouts. Where most suppliers quote well and deliver badly, we delivered the deal — not the deck.

Legacy service migrations

Migration windows, service overlap, deadline-driven change. We sequence the cut-over so the business stays online while you replace the legacy supply chain.

Multi-carrier delivery

Diverse access technologies, multiple carriers across an estate, site-by-site coordination. The right tech in the right postcode, delivered as one programme.

Advanced configuration

BGP and routing support, customer-specific configuration, third-party equipment handling. The detail-work that turns a quote into a working network.

Migration plus SD-WAN, multi-carrier, on time.

A deal we delivered

Not a capability claim. A real estate, already in production.

IP River supported the migration from legacy connectivity and delivered the access layer for SD-WAN across multiple Dobbies sites — using diverse access technologies and carriers across the estate. The retail environment didn't pause for the cut-over.

One contract for the access layer. One delivery team for the multi-carrier programme. One escalation path while the network rolled out. The SD-WAN overlay sits with the integrator; we are the UK access underlay.

Questions

The short version.

What is IP River?

IP River is a UK wholesale ISP and network operator, and a global internet platform. It aggregates 33+ UK carriers, altnets and fibre networks plus 100+ global carriers across 50+ countries, delivering multisite connectivity behind the partners who sell it. It has operated since 2008 on its own BGP network (AS62163) and is a LINX member.

Does IP River sell directly to end customers?

No. IP River is channel-first and never competes with its partners. MSPs and resellers deliver under their own brand; brokers make the sale and keep the relationship while IP River delivers and services the connectivity.

Who does IP River work with?

Managed service providers (MSPs), connectivity brokers and dealers, and resellers and white-label VISPs.

What is the difference between the MSP and broker models?

MSPs, resellers and VISPs white-label IP River and handle all customer communications and billing themselves. Brokers and dealers make the sale and keep the relationship and margin, while IP River delivers, services and bills the customer directly — and never goes around the broker.

What can IP River deliver?

Multi-carrier UK and international access: broadband (FTTP, FTTC, SoGEA), Ethernet, Dedicated Internet Access and leased lines, dark fibre, LEO satellite (Starlink) and 4G/5G mobile, plus Private WAN, CloudConnect and DDoS/DNS protection — quoted, ordered and managed in one portal under one contract.

Is IP River a LINX member, and what is AS62163?

Yes. IP River runs its own BGP network under AS62163 and has been a London Internet Exchange (LINX) member since 2008.

Can partners integrate with IP River programmatically?

The platform is API-first by design: partners can quote, order and manage programmatically with scoped per-tenant keys and supplier-event webhooks. Deeper programmatic self-service is part of the platform rebuild.
