Case Study: River Valley Cooperative achieves reliable, cost-effective redundant site-to-site VPN across multiple locations with Peplink Balance Multi-WAN routers

River Valley Cooperative - Customer Case Study

River Valley Cooperative, a member-owned organization serving farmers in Illinois and Iowa, needed a simpler, lower-cost way to connect growing remote locations to its central office for email, accounting and financial applications. After finding its radio-based network complex and expensive, Network Administrator Todd Phillips selected Peplink and its Peplink Balance Multi‑WAN routers (Balance 710 at the central office and Balance 380 at remote sites) to provide reliable VPN, load balancing and failover.

Peplink implemented Site-to-Site VPN Bonding across multiple links so locations can bond DSL/cable with wireless backups (3G, satellite) and easily add bandwidth as needed. The Peplink solution delivered redundant, always-on connectivity, improved reliability and lower costs compared with the previous radio network, and River Valley Cooperative now maintains secure, dependable connections to the central office with responsive Peplink support.
