Data Transport

Let’s face it, it doesn’t matter what your business makes or services. In today’s Information Age, the core of every business is transporting information.

  • Banking customers expect to access their accounts and do their banking from any branch location or from their desktop computer;
  • Healthcare customers expect the best medical service, resourcing top specialists via telemedicine connections, even if the patient is in a remote clinic;
  • Shoppers expect retailers to answer multi-store inventory questions with a click of the mouse.

SDN makes it happen through its MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) transport. Its key benefits include:

  • No matter your current transport method - Private Line, Ethernet, Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and/or FRATM - MPLS acts as a translator, tying them all together.
  • Because no remote location is ever isolated, SDN's MPLS has disaster recovery benefits.
  • MPLS improves the performance of demanding applications through SDN's Quality of Service (QoS).

SDN’s Broadband Boost to Hwy 14 Hits Close to Home

Posted on Monday, January 09, 2012 in General Blog Posts, BTOP/Stimulus, News, Internet, Connectivity, Miscellaneous

It’s easy to get lost in the technology in delivering broadband services, but it’s the human element that makes it a worthwhile, rewarding career. That’s been reinforced with me recently.

Just before Christmas, SDN turned up high-speed broadband services to the schools along Highway 14 between Huron and Brookings. Students and staff in Iroquois, De Smet, Lake Preston, Arlington and Volga have long been starved for faster service. They’ve been receiving their services via old, copper phone lines. SDN’s fiber delivers the service up to five times faster – 10 Megabits per second.

South Dakota State Government Undertakes Project to Expand Broadband Access

Posted on Monday, September 19, 2011 in General Blog Posts, BTOP/Stimulus, News, Internet, Connectivity, Community Service, Miscellaneous, Technology

The state’s Bureau of Information and Telecommunications (BIT) is collecting and compiling data on the availability and use of broadband services throughout South Dakota. In order to complete this major undertaking, the state is asking all citizens to take an online speed test. This data is then collected, analyzed and used to increase broadband access to underserved areas.

From live auctions to emergency assistance, broadband is making a difference throughout South Dakota.
