With Connectbase's Advanced CPQ API directly integrating real-time supplier pricing into Salesforce, the procurement and sales teams at Arelion can now obtain quotes from over 130 suppliers worldwide for non-own network access through a single workflow.

Boston, November 10, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Connectbase Today, we announce that Arelion — the world's number one Tier-1 internet backbone network operator ( AS1299 ) — has migrated its global non-own network access quotes to The Connected World Platform. With the help of Buyer Cloud, Arelion can now procure and price last-mile access services from over 130 suppliers in Europe, North America, and other regions through a single automated workflow, providing faster and more accurate quotes for its wholesale and enterprise customers at any location they need to connect to.

Arelion serves over 2,300 customers in nearly 130 countries and regions, some of whom are located outside the coverage area of Arelion's own network. To win these business opportunities, Arelion's procurement and sales teams must quickly and consistently price third-party connections among hundreds of operators. Connectbase's Advanced CPQ API has now directly connected The Connected World Platform to Arelion's Salesforce environment, allowing a single pricing request to return real-time supplier prices and availability from a wide range of leading regional and national suppliers. As a result, Arelion's team, as well as the customers they serve, have experienced faster and more consistent quotation processes.

Connectbase, the Chief Executive Officer and Founder, stated: "Arelion operates the most extensive backbone network on Earth, and its customers also expect the same level of coverage when they need access to non-proprietary networks. By migrating its global access procurement to The Connected World Platform, Arelion is transforming one of the most labor-intensive tasks in its wholesale business—tracking supplier prices by location—into an automated, data-driven workflow. We are proud to support a leader like Arelion and to continuously expand the supplier ecosystem that underpins each of its quotes."

Arelion Chief Commercial Officer Scott Nichols stated: "Our customers choose Arelion because we provide high-quality global connectivity services, which increasingly means delivering a comprehensive solution that goes beyond our own network capabilities. By leveraging Connectbase to directly integrate real-time supplier pricing into our sales tools, our team is able to respond to customers more quickly and with greater confidence in each quotation. The Connected World Platform has provided us with the scalability and automation we need to keep up with the demands brought about by customer growth."

Connectbase and Arelion are jointly demonstrating how credible location data and standardized API along with automated workflows can eliminate friction in global-scale procurement of connectivity services. On this basis, the two companies are exploring additional capabilities on The Connected World Platform to accelerate the speed at which Arelion can discover, quote, and deliver connectivity services to customers.
