PORTLAND, Ore. – June 4, 2026 – Bigleaf Networks today announced Circuit Data Metering, a new capability in Bigleaf Cloud Connect that helps businesses understand, manage, and control data usage across metered WAN circuits.
The new capability is designed for organizations that rely on Starlink, satellite, metered 5G/LTE cellular, and other usage-based circuits to connect remote locations, support failover, or bring new sites online quickly. As distributed businesses add these connections across locations, the cost model can become difficult to monitor and manage. Overage fees, automatic tier escalations, and carrier-by-carrier reporting can turn valuable connectivity into a budgeting risk.
Bigleaf Circuit Data Metering gives IT and network teams a single dashboard to monitor usage for every circuit, site, and carrier. Customers can set enforceable data caps on individual circuits, receive proactive alerts as usage approaches those limits, and control what happens when a cap is reached. These capabilities provide automatic cost protection by helping businesses avoid overage charges and carrier tier escalations while making it easier to align connectivity plans with real usage patterns before unexpected charges appear.
“As more businesses turn to Starlink and metered cellular to connect remote and distributed sites, the biggest barrier isn’t coverage. It’s cost predictability,” said Greg Davis, CEO of Bigleaf Networks. “Bigleaf Circuit Data Metering removes that barrier by giving our customers automatic visibility and control over data usage, so they can scale satellite and cellular connectivity with confidence and without overage surprises.”
A Scalable Control Layer for Usage-Based Connectivity
Circuit Data Metering extends Bigleaf Cloud Connect’s existing intelligent load balancing and network performance capabilities. Businesses can use metered circuits as part of a broader WAN strategy while Bigleaf monitors circuit health, optimizes traffic and helps prevent usage-based cost spikes. The capability works across mixed carriers and circuit types, which makes it especially useful for multi-site organizations in retail, restaurants and QSR, healthcare, financial services, logistics and field operations. It also gives MSPs and channel partners a consistent way to manage customer environments that span many locations and connection types.
Most connectivity and SD-WAN solutions provide some level of usage reporting, but many stop short of automatic enforcement tied to data caps and billing tiers. Bigleaf Circuit Data Metering pairs real-time usage visibility with proactive alerts and customer-defined cap actions that help prevent overage fees and automatic billing tier escalations, giving businesses a more practical way to deploy and leverage usage-based connectivity at scale.
For organizations using Starlink, satellite or metered cellular, the capability helps remove a common barrier to adoption. Instead of treating satellite and metered cellular circuits as a financial wildcard, businesses can make them a predictable and scalable part of the network with clear controls for performance, usage and spend.
Circuit Data Metering is now available as part of Bigleaf Cloud Connect.
