Aviat Networks introduced a new software capability that keeps critical sites, vehicles, and services connected when terrestrial wireless networks become unavailable, degraded, or difficult to restore.
Critical services increasingly depend on always-on connectivity, yet mobile assets and fixed communications sites can become unreachable outside cellular coverage or during equipment failures and severe weather. Remote microwave sites that rely on a single terrestrial path can leave operators without remote management visibility when a radio fails. Harsh terrain, winter access, and helicopter-only locations turn even a simple diagnosis into a lengthy outage and a costly site visit.
The software integrates LEO satellite links with an operator's vehicle fleet or wireless transport network. It provides management and monitoring, load sharing, and seamless failover when terrestrial connectivity is lost. Operators can diagnose failures before dispatching technicians and, in some cases, restore service remotely.
The capability, called Connectivity Assurance Software (CAS), draws on the network-wide view of Aviat's ProVision Plus Management software platform. It improves performance and maintains connectivity across changing field conditions, with integrated visibility and control over terrestrial wireless and LEO satellite systems.
LEO satellite services can close connectivity gaps across public safety, utility, transportation, energy, industrial, and rural broadband networks. Operators can keep vehicles in the field in contact, preserve remote access to infrastructure, and reduce truck rolls, emergency dispatches, and downtime. The software also reduces the need for redundant terrestrial hardware in locations where a second path is costly or impractical.
Pete Smith, CEO of Aviat Networks, said: “LEO satellite connectivity gives customers a powerful new option for extending network reach and resiliency. The real value is not the satellite link alone, but the ability to keep a public safety vehicle, utility crew, remote site, or critical service connected when the primary terrestrial network is no longer available.”
