At Fortress Solutions, we’ve never been content with “good enough.” Our history is rooted in innovation, transformation, and enabling our customers to succeed in a rapidly changing technology landscape. That’s why we’re taking purposeful steps to expand our IP/MPLS capabilities—investing in dedicated lab space, specialized resources, and the expertise to match.
A Lab Built fof Today’s Network Realities
Our enhanced lab now features dedicated platforms from Cisco and Juniper—industry leaders in the high-performance, scalable infrastructure that underpins service provider networks. While IP/MPLS technology emerged in the mid-1990s, it remains a robust, proven standard for delivering reliable, secure, and efficient network services worldwide.
Fortress is committed to ensuring these essential systems continue to perform at their highest potential. Our lab environment allows us to test, repair, and optimize IP/MPLS platforms with precision, supporting customers who rely on them as a critical part of their network strategy.
Key advantages of IP/MPLS technology include:
- Greater Bandwidth & Reliability – Supporting consistent service delivery at scale.
- Dynamic Routing & Traffic Engineering – Enabling efficient, adaptable network performance.
- Enhanced Security & Scalability – Safeguarding data while accommodating growth.
Purpose Built Space for Maximum Impact
Previously located in a smaller, lower-visibility area, our Cisco, Nokia, and Juniper platforms now reside in a dedicated IP/MPLS zone designed to maximize accessibility, streamline workflows, and highlight the importance of this technology in today’s connectivity landscape.
Our redesigned lab enables:
- Dedicated IP/MPLS Zone – Organized platform areas for efficient troubleshooting, testing, and deployment.
- Visibility & Accessibility – Positioning critical systems front and center for easier management.
- Streamlined Workflows – Positioning critical systems front and center for easier management.
More Than a Lab… A Commitment to Sustaining the Network
This transformation is more than a facility upgrade; it’s a strategic investment in sustaining and supporting technologies that remain vital to our customers’ operations. With decades of telecom experience, a proven track record in digital transformation, and a skilled team of network professionals, Fortress is ready to ensure IP/MPLS systems continue delivering value well into the future.
Whether it’s reducing operational costs, accelerating repairs, or maintaining mission-critical performance, Fortress Solutions is the partner service providers trust to keep their networks running.
The future of connectivity depends on proven, reliable systems and we’re here to keep them performing at their best.
The relocation of systems to the new lab is underway in three planned phases. All moves are scheduled for completion by mid-September 2025. Follow along our journey! Progress as of August 15, 2025 is detailed below:
