iComm Mobile Communications Kit
The Cisco IP VSAT Module also forms a critical part of the Cisco iComm kit for instant and mobile communications. iComm provides an all-in-one solution for local wired and wireless connectivity that utilizes the Cisco IP VSAT Module as the backhaul to the public Internet or private corporate/agency network.
iComm can be used as a rapidly deployable communications base for any temporary site (construction site, energy facility, public event, etc.) iComm can also be a critical component of disaster recovery preparedness for state and local governments or public safety agencies, and can provide enterprises with the ability to stay connected during disasters or other extended network outages.
For more information on the iComm solution, contact your Cisco authorized partner representative.
Service Coverage Map and Availability
VSAT service coverage areas for Spacenet include the United States, southern Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Spacenet On-Demand Services
Spacenet’s Connexstar On-Demand service provides a low monthly base cost with usage-based billing (either by time used or packets sent) – ideal for backup services. These on-demand options can be used with Connexstar data services, VoIP services, or both.
Connexstar On-Demand can be deployed almost anywhere and does not
depend on local phone infrastructure, making it an ideal solution for
organizations seeking 100% network uptime. Other benefits of Connexstar
On-Demand backup solutions include: physically diverse network path
to terrestrial alternatives, easily and quickly deployable, seamlessly
integrated with primary networks, scaleable and flexible service options.
- Customer configures Cisco VSAT NM as failover networking path
- Optional IPSec Internet backhaul/private line set up to route data from the Spacenet hub
- When satellite service interruption occurs, the VSAT automatically switches over to the failover connection after pre-specified time period
- After terrestrial connectivity is restored, the connection automatically switches back to the primary network
Spacenet's On-Demand services for backup/disaster recovery are available in all of the same speeds as Connexstar data services. Each package includes a set amount of usage, with additional usage on a per 8-hour increment basis. Spacenet monitors the traffic usage per VSAT and records it in 3-hour usage untis (e.g. a VSAT that was active for 30 minutes will be recorded as 1 usage unit; a VSAT that was active for 3 hours and 15 minutes will be recorded as 2 usage units).
