IPv6 Support
IPv6
EGATE has run native IPv6 in production for well over a decade — since before most of the carriers we manage offered it. Every service we deliver is dual-stack by default: your sites get IPv4 and IPv6 together, with nothing extra to order or configure.
What is covered
- Connectivity — dedicated internet, private network, fixed wireless, mobile and satellite links
- Managed network — SD-WAN, SASE, firewalls, LAN and Wi-Fi are provisioned dual-stack
- Cloud and data centre — EGATE Cloud, colocation and public-cloud interconnects
- Voice — Teams Direct Routing, cloud PBX and SIP trunking
- DNS and hosting
Why it matters
IPv4 addresses ran out years ago. Carriers now share them between customers (carrier-grade NAT), which breaks some applications, complicates VPNs and security logging, and makes you dependent on address space you cannot grow. Native IPv6 removes those limits, and most of the public internet — Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, the major CDNs — already prefers it.
Moving an existing network to dual-stack
If your current provider gave you IPv4 only, or your firewall rules and monitoring were never written for v6, our Professional Services team runs IPv4-to-dual-stack transitions as a standard project: addressing plan, firewall policy, DNS, and a cutover that doesn’t disrupt v4.
