SCION (Scalability, Control, and Isolation On next-generation Networks) is a secure-by-design internet routing architecture that replaces BGP with authenticated, path-aware routing. Iristel delivers it over its carrier-grade Canadian backbone for sovereign, resilient critical-infrastructure networks.
Explore Sovereign InfrastructureCritical infrastructure cannot rely on inherited routing trust models. Structural vulnerabilities in today's internet create systemic exposure.
Global routing relies on hierarchical root authorities.
Unauthorized route injection remains a recurring global issue.
Traditional routing selects one best path not multiple resilient paths.
DNS, time services, and trust anchors may sit outside your jurisdiction.
When routing trust is inherited rather than governed, structural risk becomes business risk.
Uptime becomes unpredictable and service delivery becomes vulnerable.
Sovereign control becomes uncertain as external governance influences routing trust.
Revenue becomes exposed and customer confidence erodes.
Security and sovereignty move from policy to architecture.
Security is embedded in the routing architecture — not added as an overlay.
Sovereign routing architecture, delivered through 25+ years of Canadian carrier experience.
Deployed within Iristel's national carrier infrastructure — minimizing risk and disruption.

Each technical capability maps directly to a business outcome.
Lower exposure to BGP hijacks and routing instability.
Automatic failover across independent paths improves continuity for mission-critical systems.
Supports governance, compliance, and national data strategies.
Enforce geographic routing and policy-driven controls.
True differentiation begins at the routing layer.
Governance is no longer layered on top — it is enforced within the routing architecture.
Each domain defines and manages its own trust authority.
Trust validation operates within national or organizational boundaries.
Routing relationships are explicit — not inherited.
No reliance on a single global root authority.
Supports national infrastructure and data residency frameworks.
An authenticated control plane enables traceable routing decisions.
Isolation domains limit systemic exposure.
Designed for sectors requiring structural resilience and governance control.
SCION enables locally governed trust and routing control — reducing dependency on external infrastructure.
Routing authentication and multipath resilience protect against hijacks, outages, and systemic routing risk.
Integrated into Iristel's regulated national infrastructure — combining architectural innovation with operational accountability.
SCION (Scalability, Control, and Isolation On next-generation Networks) is a secure-by-design internet routing architecture. It replaces BGP with authenticated, path-aware routing, letting operators use multiple verified paths and govern trust locally instead of relying on a single global root authority.
BGP selects one best path and trusts route advertisements implicitly, which makes hijacks and route leaks possible. SCION authenticates every routing decision, isolates trust into independent domains, and can carry traffic over several verified paths at once for built-in resilience.
Critical-infrastructure operators in government, finance, healthcare, utilities, and telecom that need routing trust to stay within their own jurisdiction. SCION suits organizations that cannot depend on external root authorities or single-path internet routing for mission-critical traffic.
Iristel enables SCION at the transport layer within its national carrier backbone. Iristel configures the isolation domains, integrates the routing, and manages monitoring and optimization, so customers gain authenticated, sovereign routing with no overhaul of their own infrastructure.
Secure. Independent. Resilient. Let's discuss how SCION on Iristel's national backbone fits your environment.
