Aviat Extends Mission-Critical Connectivity with LEO Satellite Integration
New Aviat software capability helps public safety, utility, enterprise and service provider networks by increasing coverage for vehicle fleets, and improving uptime and lowering costs for fixed communications sites
Vehicles, Remote Sites and Critical Services Cannot Go Dark
For critical communications networks, connectivity can easily be lost when vehicles travel outside cellular coverage during emergencies, potentially endangering lives. Remote microwave sites may rely on a single terrestrial path, leaving operators without remote management visibility when a radio fails. Harsh terrain, winter access, tower logistics, and locations accessible only by helicopter mean that even a simple diagnosis or equipment reboot results in a lengthy outage and expensive site visit. Operators can little afford the impact in terms of lost visibility, delayed restoration, higher operating costs, and elevated risk to mission-critical services.
LEO Satellite Provides Coverage Where Terrestrial Networks End
LEO satellite services can close the connectivity gaps across public safety, utility, transportation, energy, industrial, and rural broadband networks, but network operators need a solution that securely and seamlessly integrates with their existing terrestrial network, with full management visibility and control, rather than a bolt-on backup path.
Continuity, Remote Recovery, and Lower Operating Costs
Aviat's new software integrates LEO satellite with an operator's vehicle fleet or wireless transport network, providing management and monitoring, load sharing and seamless failover when terrestrial connectivity is lost. Operators can maintain communications with vehicles in the field, preserve remote access to infrastructure, diagnose failures before dispatching technicians, and in some cases restore service remotely without expensive site visits, improving service resiliency while reducing truck rolls, emergency dispatches, downtime, and the need for redundant terrestrial hardware in locations where a second path is costly or impractical.
"LEO satellite connectivity gives customers a powerful new option for extending network reach and resiliency," said
