Industry Benefits
- Always connected. Terrestrial networks do not cover entire geographies, especially in rural areas, and have limited footprints. Satellite or VSAT solutions are tried-and-true and have made many advancements in speed, technology and accessibility. And since they are always on, First Responders can be always connected to their teams.
- Prioritized services. Reliable communication systems can be the difference between life or death for First Responders. That’s why having prioritized data is so important. Not all data or networks are equal. Ask for prioritized data for all your internet and cellular public safety needs.
- Interoperability. VSAT solutions for Public Safety augment gaps in terrestrial networks, can serve as the backhaul for LTE and microwave, and can be programed with auto-failovers to ensure that teams are always able to communicate.

- Solutions: Collaboration with the customer created a comprehensive workflow process to guarantee a strict implementation timeline to avoid interruption to customer facing web services.
- Results: The customer’s systems were migrated and running without incident from the move.
