Peplink Case Study – Connecting Multiple Locations with Reliable VPN

To enhance its members’ farming operations and help them adapt tochanges in markets and technology, River Valley Cooperative connects alllocations to its central office for applications such as email servers,accounting database, and financial programs. At the beginning, aradio-based network had been used to tie the remote locations together. However, network connectivity was complex and costly. As the number of locations grew, River Valley Cooperative wanted a simple, low cost solution that can also improve network reliability. Todd Phillips, Network Administrator at River Valley Cooperative, searched for a solution to replace its existing radio-based network. “What we need is something that can reliably provide VPN, load balancing, and failover,” says Todd.
