Speeds can be up to 100X faster than traditional transfer methods but there are many variables in play. Signiant proprietary transport technology will improve nearly any file transfer situation but is most impactful with large datasets, over long distances or congested networks, and, somewhat counter-intuitively, when more bandwidth is available. With many customers, we routinely deliver multi-Gbps transfer speeds. Want to experience Signiant’s speed – Try sending a large file for free.

Because our customers use our technology to move their most valuable assets, we take precautions to secure every layer involved in file movement.

Thanks to our commitment to enterprise-grade security, Signiant is a preferred solution with Hollywood studios, sports leagues, broadcasters and more.
