Large Public Safety Organization
Requirement
A major public safety agency needed a continuity of operations network solution. It needed a network that could support secure voice and data applications, and that could be integrated into its existing IT infrastructure. It also needed a solution that could withstand varying weather conditions, including high winds.
Solution
Spacenet provided an always-on “hot stand-by” satellite solution integrated with the customer’s primary wireline network. The solution was a custom satellite network, employing the Cisco VSAT Network Module for seamless failover in the case of a primary network outage. In addition, the solution included custom antennas that could withstand high winds of 200mph.
Customer Value
Spacenet’s SkyEdge VSAT solution provided complete voice and data, integrated into the customer’s existing IT infrastructure, which consisted of a terrestrial network. In addition, the solution provided a network backup solution and near 100% network availability.
