Case Study: Koch Trucking achieves scalable, reliable network management with Lumen Managed SD-WAN

Expanding business and optimizing IT infrastructure with SD-WAN

Koch Trucking, a Minnesota-based family-owned trucking company with 1,500+ employees and more than 20 sites across the U.S., needed a way to better manage network performance, security, and redundancy across its distributed locations. The company wanted more control from headquarters and less dependence on local IT support, while also supporting services like VoIP across a hybrid network environment.

Lumen provided Koch Trucking with Managed SD-WAN, along with MPLS IP/VPN and voice services, to create an integrated hybrid network with centralized security, visibility, and control. With Lumen, Koch Trucking upgraded phone systems at little to no added cost, improved productivity and reliability, and gained a scalable platform that can support future expansion, including potential international growth.
