Core Transit: Static IPs That Just Work — Even When the Internet Won't Cooperate

Why Good Enough Internet Isn’t Good Enough Anymore

Remote work didn’t just move employees out of the office. It moved critical business systems with them.

Adam Schaeffer, founder of Core Transit, works with organizations where being connected isn’t optional. His clients — healthcare providers, nonprofits, and hybrid enterprises — depend on real-time access to clinical systems, cloud apps, voice, video, and security platforms. They expect it to work whether they’re sitting at a headquarters desk or at a remote clinic an hour outside of town.

“This isn’t casual browsing. It’s patient records, cloud voice, and real-time apps. And when the internet blinks, everything stops.”

Traditional SD-WAN stacks — heavy routers, BGP sessions, and preferred-carrier circuits — are just overkill for this reality. These systems are great for large remote offices and divisional HQs, but for small branches or the work from home warriors, it's like showing up to a knife fight with a cannon.

Core Transit is built to solve this — starting with the most overlooked problem in modern connectivity: persistent, portable, static IP access.

The Problem: Static IPs are Taken Hostage by Carriers

Static IPs are traditionally tied to expensive dedicated lines, complex routing setups, and carriers with the staff to manage custom configs. As LTE, Starlink, and CGNAT-heavy ISPs rose in popularity, demand for static IPs didn’t go away — it grew.

Core Transit initially tackled this by using tunneling protocols like GRE and L2TP. It worked, but not without tradeoffs:

  • L2TP is NAT-friendly, but has limited device support
  • GRE is more universal, but struggles behind NAT
  • Layer 3 handoff is standard, even when users prefer Layer 2
  • Supporting both increases operational overhead

It’s all serviceable, but doesn't scale. 

Core Transit needed a way to make it easy.

Making the Internet Work for You (Not Against You)

Big Network offers a unique platform so that Network Operators can deploy their services anywhere thanks to Cloud Networks. It brings a full orchestration layer: cloud-managed static IP delivery, API-driven provisioning, real-time monitoring, and automated failover — all abstracted away from the physical transport.

“We don’t have to beg the ISP for static IPs. We don’t have to touch BGP. We don’t have to roll a truck when a link drops. Big Network just keeps things online.” — Adam Schaeffer, Founder, Core Transit

Instead of juggling protocols, Core Transit, powered by Big Network, now delivers:

  • Static IPs that persist across LTE, Starlink, and Broadband
  • Encrypted tunnel mesh between sites, workers, and cloud
  • Dashboard and API control for provisioning, health, and policy
  • Failover that happens in milliseconds, not minutes

It’s no longer a patchwork of configs — it’s a product.

What Leaders Really Want to Know

When Adam talks to customers, he doesn’t oversell. He keeps it simple:

“Your people stay online. Your systems stay reachable. We handle the rest.”

Because whether it’s a CEO or an IT admin, the pain is the same: outages, complaints, workarounds. 

Big Network lets Core Transit offer something better: a managed static IP service that works across messy last-mile conditions, with clean support paths and full visibility.

No surprises. No drama. Just stable, trusted access.

What It Looks Like When the Network Stops Being the Problem

With Big Network embedded, Core Transit now supports:

  • Clinics with flaky broadband staying connected to healthcare systems
  • Mobile workers using static IPs over LTE without breaking VPNs
  • Remote offices routing through encrypted tunnels over Starlink
  • Technicians managing everything through a clean cloud interface

No more reboots. No more guessing. No more BGP gymnastics.

"Our clients aren’t asking for perfect networks. They’re asking for networks that don’t ruin their day. Big Network helps us deliver that."

How It Actually Works (Without the Hand-Waving)

Big Network enables globally multipath network transports over any access type. Connections ride encrypted tunnels, failover happens under the overlay, and traffic flows cleanly across broadband, LTE, or satellite without needing carrier-specific support.

There’s full API control. Visibility into topology. Enables BGP routing when needed. And the system doesn’t care what the edge looks like—if it can get an IP connection, it can participate.

"Basically, if it can breathe an internet connection, we can bring it online properly," Adam says.

Designed for Operators Who Want to Add Value (Without Adding Headcount)

Big Network provides Core Transit the tools to turn static IP delivery into a scalable service. No more hand-built configs. No more tunnel churn. Just a clean offer with real operational leverage.

ISPs and MSPs now use this model to:

  • Deliver static IPs to Starlink users
  • Offer backup links with real failover
  • Run BGP over non-traditional circuits
  • Add a premium service without adding ticket volume

What Happens When You Stop Gambling on Connectivity

If your customers are asking for static IPs and you're still saying no—you don’t have to.

Core Transit + Big Network gives you a product you can roll out today, with automation that keeps support low and flexibility that keeps the sales team happy.

You don’t need to be a BGP wizard. You just need a partner that does the hard stuff for you.

About the Partnership

Originally launched through a joint venture with Archous Networks Inc., Core Transit was built to simplify persistent network access across modern, fragmented infrastructure. Big Network’s overlay and orchestration capabilities made that model scalable—with flexibility for routing pros and ease-of-use for clients who just want it to work.

Together, they’ve helped ISPs, MSPs, and hybrid IT teams deploy services that used to require six routers, two tickets, and a prayer.
