Case Study: International Bird Rescue achieves reliable, cloud-managed WiFi and seamless roaming with Datto Networking

International Bird Rescue - Customer Case Study

International Bird Rescue (IBR), a Los Angeles wildlife center that cares for injured and oiled aquatic birds, was struggling with consumer-grade WiFi that caused bottlenecks, latency, and little control. They needed a reliable, scalable network that allowed seamless roaming for highly mobile staff, could handle surges during disaster responses, and offered remote management and VPN capabilities without the expense of enterprise licensing.

MacGuru Consulting deployed five Open Mesh A40 access points managed via CloudTrax to create an automatic mesh covering the 8,000 sq ft facility. The result is stable, faster WiFi with full network visibility, bandwidth controls, outage alerts, and remote administration—improving day-to-day operations, preparing IBR for large-scale responses, and enabling future guest access and outdoor expansion at a lower cost than competing solutions.
