Case Study: Flume achieves 25%+ network cost savings with Lightyear

Flume automates its telecom RFPs with Lightyear, resulting in significant network engineer time savings and zero implementation headaches

Flume, a national fixed wireless ISP focused on closing the digital divide, needed a backbone that could support rapid network growth across multiple U.S. markets while balancing resiliency, diversity, cost sensitivity, and limited internal bandwidth for vendor management. The company’s network requirements included IP transit, dark fiber, lit fiber, and colocation, all while operating as a small early-stage team.

Lightyear helped Flume automate and outsource the RFP process for each new network deployment, while also project managing implementations and negotiating bulk multi-site carrier deals. With Lightyear, Flume saved 75% of network engineer time, achieved 25%+ cost savings relative to budget, and delivered 100% of services on time.
