Case Study: Spectrotel achieves rapid, cost-effective rollout of secure SD‑WAN services with Equinix

Spectrotel Delivers Secure SD-WAN Service When and Where Businesses Need It

Spectrotel, a next‑generation aggregator and integrated communications provider, partnered with Equinix to meet rising customer demand for secure, reliable SD‑WAN gateways. The company needed direct ISP connectivity, geo‑redundant resilience and fast, low‑capex deployment—challenges compounded by COVID‑era hardware delays and the need to support remote workers quickly and flexibly.

Spectrotel deployed virtual SD‑WAN gateways and cloud firewalls on Equinix Network Edge, using Equinix Connect and Fabric for high‑performance internet and interconnection. The virtual approach delivered services in weeks instead of months, eliminated large upfront capital expenses, cut travel costs (about $10,000 annually), provided seamless geo‑redundancy and reduced the carbon footprint, while enabling easy geographic and service expansion.
