Case Study: FD Mediagroep (FDMG) achieves 10% WAN cost savings and a transformed mobile experience with Cato Networks

FDMG Cuts Costs, Revolutionizes Mobile Experience by Replacing MPLS and Mobile VPN

FD Mediagroep (FDMG), publisher of Het Financieele Dagblad and BNR Nieuwsradio, faced high MPLS costs, a separate VPN concentrator for mobile journalists, and complex, duplicated security and provisioning for fixed and mobile users. Looking for an MPLS alternative that would unify WAN and remote access, FDMG evaluated and adopted Cato Networks’ Cato Cloud along with Cato Socket appliances and the Cato mobile client to simplify connectivity and security.

Cato Networks deployed Cato Cloud site-by-site with zero-touch Sockets and mobile clients, connected AWS, and consolidated firewall, SD‑WAN and remote access into a single service. The result: about 10% lower WAN spend versus MPLS, increased bandwidth with comparable latency and uptime, faster site moves (minutes), simplified policy management, and a markedly improved mobile user experience — all delivered through Cato Networks’ platform.
