High Capacity, High Availability, High Security
Recognizing the demand for modern High Capacity special access services in West Central Illinois the Multi Carrier Network (“MCN”) working group was established in 2012 to provide Ethernet Private Line services to SMB, Enterprise and Carrier clients in West Central Illinois. The MCN is comprised of 11 individual networks that are interconnected together to provide reliable special access transport services.
