⭐ Industry specialty
Distribution and logistics operations live or die by uptime. If your WMS goes down, trucks don't move. If a warehouse loses internet, scanners stop scanning and orders stack up. Buckeye Telecom has been keeping Ohio distribution centers, 3PL providers, and logistics companies online for 23+ years — with carrier-neutral internet design, SD-WAN for multi-site, and managed IT built around how distribution actually runs.
“If you run more than one warehouse, your single biggest hidden cost is probably the internet downtime nobody is measuring. We measure it — and we engineer it out.”

What we do for this industry
Carrier-neutral internet
We compare every carrier serving your buildings — fiber, fixed wireless, DIA, cable — and pick the right mix. Same prices as going direct, with our advocacy when something breaks.
Hosted VoIP & UCaaS
Replace aging phone systems with cloud-based voice that works on desk phones, computers, and cell phones. Survives outages, scales with growth, and costs less than what you have.
Managed IT & cybersecurity
Endpoint protection, patch management, MFA, backup, dark-web monitoring, and 24/7 SOC for the data your business depends on.
SD-WAN for multi-site
Connect multiple locations with private-network performance, automatic failover, and centralized management. Designed and supported across all major SD-WAN vendors.
Microsoft 365 & cloud
Email, file sharing, Teams, identity, and device management — configured with the security controls actually turned on.
POTS line replacement
AT&T is sunsetting copper. We migrate fax, alarm, elevator, and entry lines to modern alternatives before your service goes dark.
Real client work

Frequently asked
Why does a distribution business need a telecom broker?
Distribution operations typically need 5-12 carrier contracts across multiple buildings, plus mobile lines for drivers and dispatch radios. Managing that directly is a part-time job. We consolidate it, audit the bills monthly, and renegotiate at renewal so you stop overpaying.
Can you handle warehouse Wi-Fi coverage?
Yes. Warehouse Wi-Fi is a specialty — concrete walls, metal racking, and forklifts moving through coverage areas all break consumer-grade access points. We deploy industrial Wi-Fi (Cisco Meraki MR, Aruba, Extreme) designed for warehouse environments and validate coverage with site surveys before go-live.
What about SD-WAN for connecting multiple warehouses?
SD-WAN is almost mandatory for any logistics business running 2+ buildings. It gives you private-network performance for WMS and EDI traffic, automatic failover if one carrier dies, and centralized management. We design and manage SD-WAN deployments across all major vendors (Fortinet, Cisco Meraki, Velocloud, Cato).
