How do you know if your location is optimally connected? For many organisations that process starts with an email, a phone call or a quote request. Then comes the waiting. Which connections are available? Which carriers deliver on site? Is there enough diversity for a reliable back-up connection?
With the new postal code check in the GlobalControl portal, Momentum turns this process around.
From now on, you as a user have instant insight into the available connectivity options at any desired location. Fast, self-service and fully within the portal.
Control starts with insight
International organisations are increasingly dependent on stable connectivity. A single connection is often no longer enough. Not for business-critical sites. Not for hybrid working environments. And certainly not for organisations that take continuity seriously.
That is why we have added a new functionality to the GlobalControl portal that lets you directly check which connectivity options are available at a specific address.
No request form. No waiting time. No middlemen.
Just instant insight.
More than a postal code tool
Although the functionality starts simply with an address or postal code, the value goes far beyond a traditional availability check.
The tool shows which connections are available at a location and helps organisations with important strategic choices around network architecture, continuity and resilience.
For example:
- Adding a second active connection
- Realising a back-up connection for critical sites
- Exploring upgrade options
- Creating carrier-diversity
- Assessing alternatives to existing connections
This gives the user the information needed to make well-informed choices, directly.
Resilience demands more than a second line
A common mistake is to add a second connection without looking at the underlying carrier.
On paper, this looks like redundancy. In practice, both connections sometimes still run through the same provider. And that is exactly where the risk sits.
The new postal code check helps organisations get insight into available alternatives. Not just which connections are available, but also what options exist to build real carrier-diversity.
Because a second connection only has value when it is truly independent of the first. That is the basis of a resilient network.
In the driver's seat
What makes this functionality special is that control sits fully with the user.
Traditionally, this knowledge resides with suppliers, carriers and account teams. Organisations have to submit a request before insight emerges. With the GlobalControl portal, we bring that information directly to the user.
IT managers, network owners and decision makers can independently explore the options available and determine what next steps are needed.
That aligns with our view on technology. Control does not belong with the supplier. Control belongs with the customer.
Part of the GlobalControl portal
The postal code check is one of many features within the GlobalControl portal that give organisations worldwide insight into their connectivity, services and performance.
From monitoring and incident management to invoices, tickets, service updates and connectivity insights. Everything comes together in one environment.
One portal. One overview. Fully in control.
Technology in every IT manager's pocket
According to John van der Zwaan, Product Manager, this development is about one important principle:
We are bringing the power of carriers, tooling and connectivity back into every IT manager's pocket. Not just for technical specialists, but for everyone responsible for the continuity and performance of the organisation.

That is exactly what Momentum stands for. Making global connectivity simpler. Not by adding more complexity, but by bringing insight, control and ease of use closer to the user.
Because organisations grow faster when they know their network is ready for the next step.
