The need

A network to support new Enterprise Resource Planning software and improve business logistics and communication with their customers and suppliers.

Each site is connected to Crown Castle Fiber’s network using 1Gbps Ethernet interfaces and can scale its access rates if needed.

With a multipoint VPN service, Cheney Brothers was able to reliably connect multiple sites in an efficient and scalable way.

As Cheney Brothers continues to grow, they can easily expand the number of sites connected to their network.
