Your Carriers. Your Cloud. Canadian Infrastructure.

What carrier-neutral gives you

• Bring any third-party carrier or WAN circuit, including your own fibre
• Qu terminates your circuit in physically isolated interconnect rooms
• Multiple isolated entry points for true physical path diversity
• No carrier exclusivity agreements limiting your choices
• Combine carriers for redundancy without building your own infrastructure

Why carrier-neutral matters at scale
Single-carrier facilities - Many facilities are owned or controlled by a carrier, or have preferred provider agreements that funnel customers toward one upstream. Your options are limited by the operator’s commercial relationships.

Qu carrier-neutral facilities
A pure-play data centre company with no upstream carrier relationship to protect. Run Bell alongside Telus, add Axia for redundancy in Alberta, or bring your own WAN. Qu provisions the physical interconnection and stays out of your carrier negotiations.

• No single-carrier lock-in.

Carrier-neutral means Qu does not force customers onto a single upstream provider. Customers bring any third-party carrier or circuit into any Qu facility. Qu terminates it and provides the physical space for interconnection. Customers retain full control over their carrier relationships, contracts, and network routing decisions.

Qu offers cloud on-ramps to AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, and Google Cloud Interconnect via Megaport at select facilities. Megaport provides on-demand, software-defined connectivity to hyperscaler networks without a long-term carrier contract. Contact our network team to confirm Megaport availability at your target facility.

A cross connect is a physical cable provisioned by Qu connecting two endpoints inside the same facility - typically your equipment to a carrier's termination point, or to the Megaport port for a cloud on-ramp. If you want to connect to a carrier or cloud provider that is already on-net at your Qu facility, a cross connect is the fastest and most cost-effective way to do it - no new circuit required, no public internet traversal.

Carrier availability varies by facility. Calgary facilities carry Rogers, Shaw, Axia, Telus, Bell, and others. Ottawa facilities carry Rogers, Telus, Bell, Zayo, Allstream, Videotron, and others. Edmonton carries Rogers, Shaw, Axia, Telus, Bell, and Zayo. Contact us for the full, current carrier roster for any specific facility.

Yes. All interconnection services are delivered from Qu's own Canadian data centres. Qu is Canadian-owned, which means the physical interconnection infrastructure and the data traversing it are subject exclusively to Canadian law. They are not exposed to the US CLOUD Act or any foreign legal authority - a structural fact of ownership, not a contractual assurance.

Yes. Cross connects, structured cabling, and cloud on-ramps are available to any customer with an active Qu colocation agreement. They layer onto your existing commercial relationship without requiring a new contract. Contact our network team and we can scope what is needed for your current environment.
