About Bluebird Network
Our company has deep roots in rural communities
Bluebird Network, headquartered in Columbia, Missouri, was formed by integrating Bluebird Media, Missouri Network Alliance, and Illinois Network Alliance.
In 2014, an underground data center was acquired and created Bluebird Underground, adding a data center facility to the Bluebird suite of services.
Today, our network has over 6,500 fiber route miles of high-speed broadband and fiber-optic connections.
Bluebird Network is a collection of Missouri and Illinois telephone companies which connect to each other and to the Internet, as well as other carriers beyond their service areas. This provides transport services, Internet access, and high speed bandwidth opportunities to rural and urban communities.
By leveraging our network, resources, and innovative employees, we develop solutions that deliver broadband opportunities across the Midwest. We have over 135 Points of Presence (POP) including the major cities of Chicago, Springfield, St, Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, and Tulsa.

Why the Bluebird:
Bluebird Network’s name was inspired by the loyal state bird of Missouri. In 1927, the bluebird was recognized as the official state bird. With its light blue upper body and a cinnamon red breast that turns rust-colored in the fall, they are known as a symbol of happiness.
Bluebird Network embraces the bird’s hard-working spirit and prosperity while striving to deliver world-class services to our customers.
