Network Advisors is excited to announce a new infrastructure partnership with Bluebird Fiber, the Midwest operator that recently rebranded from Bluebird Network to emphasize its all-fiber focus.
What the partnership delivers
- Two diverse fiber entrances into greater Kansas City—including the SubTropolis Technology Center cave facility—give our clients physically separate north-south paths for near-zero-downtime design.
- Up to 400 Gbps lit capacity per path with room to scale to dark fiber as demand grows.
- Lower metro latency: round-trip delays drop below 2 ms between Kansas City, Springfield, and St. Louis POPs.
- Enhanced SLA: Bluebird’s underground data-center footprint means rock-solid 100 % power and environmental guarantees that mirror our existing DIA commitments.
Why it matters
Redundant routing isn’t just about faster failover. By balancing traffic across two carriers and two geographic rights-of-way, we can:
| Benefit | Customer Impact |
|---|---|
| Better pricing leverage | Competing backbones drive per-meg costs down |
| Compliance friendly | Meets PCI-DSS and HIPAA dual-path requirements |
| Maintenance immunity | Planned work on one ring won’t interrupt production |
Roll-out timeline
- Now – Early adopter circuits available at 1102 Grand and SubTropolis.
- Q3 2025 – Additional splice points along I-49 corridor complete.
- Q4 2025 – Portal integration for one-click bandwidth upgrades across both rings.
For existing Network Advisors customers, your account manager will reach out with migration options. New to us? Drop a line and we’ll design a Kansas City-grade resilient topology that fits your footprint.
