Bluebird Network
Major metropolitan areas across the country are turning to cutting-edge technologies and solutions for advanced connectivity to satisfy the demands of increased data traffic and bandwidth-intensive content. Small cells have afforded these Tier I markets the ability to increase network capacity and available frequencies throughout a given area, and with 5G technology waiting in the wings, companies and end-users located in these cities find themselves in an optimal position to enjoy continuous, high-quality connectivity services. However, take a step outside of these major metro areas and you’ll see an entirely different picture.
Bluebird Network utilizes state-of-the-art IP/MPLS network infrastructure to deliver data traffic for our customers. With the sheer number of customers and services on our network, security and data traffic separation is paramount. Each customer’s private network service (EPL, EVPL, ELAN, VPRN) exists in a Virtual Private Network (VPN) logical construct. This means that every service on the IP/MPLS network is virtually private, and customer traffic cannot “leak” between VPNs. Different customers on the IP/MPLS network can overlap VLANs and IPs because traffic does not cross VPN boundaries; “Customer A” and “Customer B” can never receive each other’s data traffic. This virtual isolation ensures that each customer’s traffic is kept private and secure, and that no other customer can intercept or accidently receive another customers data, resulting in Bluebird providing an assurance that data will remain private and secure.
Kahoka State Bank has been a valued customer of Bluebird Network for three years, providing the bank’s Internet connections and the Ethernet Private Lines connecting its locations.. “We’ve been very pleased with Bluebird’s service,” says Teresa Miller, Kahoka’s IT Administrator. “From their speed, reliability and customer service, we’ve been impressed by all aspects of Bluebird’s services."
