Bluebird Network has accelerated its innovation to keep pace with the increased digital demand to provide and strengthen connectivity for underserved communities in the Midwest.
“It’s an honor to be recognized and receive the Visionary Spotlight Award for serving rural and underserved communities,” states Michael Morey, CEO of Bluebird Network. “Bluebird is committed to delivering our promise to help bridge the digital divide and give communities access to connectivity throughout the region with our aggregated product suite including fiber-based services, cutting-edge data center offerings, and ongoing network expansion.”
Bluebird has shown exponential growth throughout the past year, providing and strengthening connectivity throughout the Midwest with:
- 2 strategically placed data centers with 62% of energy coming from renewable sources
