Providing Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) in the Lower Mississippi River Delta is no easy task—true network diversity is extremely scarce. But when a major global gas refinery in Southern Louisiana needed a fully redundant and diverse connectivity solution, BeyondReach stepped in to solve the problem.
The Challenge: A False Sense of Redundancy
A technology partner contacted BeyondReach after performing a full connectivity audit at the refinery. The results were concerning. While the refinery was paying for multiple dedicated fiber circuits to ensure redundancy, all of them ultimately routed back to the same fiber provider. The refinery was investing heavily in reliability but still vulnerable to a single point of failure.
The Solution: True Diversity Through Fixed Wireless
BeyondReach’s engineering team immediately got to work, tracing existing fiber routes and identifying alternative carrier options in the region. The only truly diverse provider was located 30 miles away, near New Orleans—far beyond traditional fiber reach.
Leveraging its expertise in challenging connectivity environments, BeyondReach designed a custom Fixed Wireless solution, delivering a 1Gb x 1Gb DIA circuit directly to the refinery. The solution provided true network redundancy, eliminating the risk of a single fiber cut disrupting operations.
The Results: Speed, Savings, and Security
✅ Fast Deployment – From contract to completion, the entire project took just 60 days.
✅ Cost Efficiency – The refinery was able to reduce a significant portion of its connectivity expenses.
✅ Reliability Restored – The refinery now has a truly diverse and fully redundant network, ensuring seamless operations.
BeyondReach’s ability to engineer, deliver, and implement a custom solution in one of the most challenging connectivity landscapes highlights its dedication to client success. When redundancy matters, BeyondReach delivers where others can’t.
