Pentanet Upgrades for Cloud Gaming

EdgeIX are pleased to announce that Pentanet (AS10214), the sole transit provider for NVIDIA GeForce NOW within the Australia region, have completed the upgrade of their EdgeIX interconnects in Sydney and Perth to 100G.

GeForce NOW is the world’s most powerful cloud gaming system, which instantly transforms nearly any laptop, desktop, Mac, Android or iOS mobile device into a high-end gaming PC.

In January 2021, NVIDIA announced a formal Alliance agreement with Pentanet, one of the fastest growing internet service providers in Australia. Over 10 million gamers around the world can now instantly play the most demanding PC games across devices without the need for expensive hardware systems, accessible from anywhere in the world - and Aussie gamers are up next.

Pentanet has officially launched the GeForce NOW Australian Beta Play, with the national release set for late October 2021. Gamers are invited to join the quest for Beta Play access at cloud.gg. You can also watch the GeForce NOW hype reel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p8qZdpQJO0
