Summary
Sohonet Limited
isp enterprise legacy
SOHONETEU-AS is Sohonet, a specialist network operator for the film, television and post-production industry. It was founded in 1995 by a group of London post-production houses in Soho, which is where the name comes from.
What it's used for
- The Sohonet Media Network: private, high-bandwidth connectivity between studios, post houses, VFX facilities and cloud providers, plus internet access for production sites and shoots.
- Customers are media and entertainment companies, so the address space sits behind editing suites, screening rooms and production offices rather than homes.
Notable
- This is a community-of-interest network. It exists to move large media files and review streams between a defined industry, not to sell general-purpose transit.
- Sohonet's footprint spans the UK and North America (Soho and Los Angeles being the two centres of gravity), which is unusual for an AS of this size.
