Vyatta Connects Citywide Network for Portland, Texas
Vyatta Solution Provides End-to-End Routing and Security Without Causing Financial Heartburn

In Portland Texas, Vyatta software was used as the core router with 24 GigE ports as well as in smaller units in patrol cars, fire vehicles, microwave towers, servers in various city buildings and more to create a MAN (Metro Area Network).  Vyatta is used for routing, firewall, VPN and intrusion prevention to connect & protect the city’s data and VoIP infrastructure.

“I could easily see us spending well over $250,000 for Cisco equipment to replicate what we did here for less than $10,000, and Vyatta’s open networking software offers the flexibility to meet both our current and future requirements.”
Terrell Elliott, detective sergeant and IT manager of the Portland, Texas Police Department
