# Solution Builder: Bring Your Own Connection

You can Bring Your Own Connection (BYOC) to connect your device to a Network Service Provider (NSP) in Network Edge. To learn more about the BYOC feature, see [Bring Your Own Connection – Remote Fabric Port](https://docs.equinix.com/network-edge/reference-architecture/ne-byoc-remote-port.md). BYOC is available in the Solution Builder to provide a pricing estimate when bringing your own connection.

## Add a BYOC[​](#add-a-byoc "Direct link to Add a BYOC")

2. In order to calculate the BYOC price estimate, Solution Builder will ask for the following options:

   * Network Service Provider Name
   * Port/IBX Data Center Location – Select the IBX where your NSP’s equipment is located. This information can be obtained from yourNSP. If your NSP is in a different Metro than your virtual device, additional charges may occur.
   * Port Speed – Select the Port bandwidth. There is a one-time charge in addition to the Monthly Recurring Charge, listed in the bandwidth card

3. Use your cursor to draw a line between dots of your devices to the BYOC resource. You need to select a bandwidth for the connection between those resources to complete.
