5 Real-World Comms Failures - And How Argus Prevents Them

Argus is designed to address a number of challenges commonly faced across defense, maritime, and enterprise sectors.

When business operations rely on multiple networks, devices, and locations, reliable communication becomes a challenge - not just in remote regions, but across everyday workflows.

Dropped signals. Delayed data. Disconnected systems. These aren't just technical hiccups - they disrupt productivity and increase operational risk.

Argus was built to fix that. It’s a communications platform that simplifies complex networks by enabling secure, intelligent routing across LTE, satellite, radio, and more. Whether you're managing field teams, mobile assets, or critical infrastructure, Argus keeps communications seamless and dependable.

Here are five real-world problems organizations face, and how Argus helps solve them.

1. The Offshore Vessel Facing a LEO Satellite Shakeup

Industry Trend: LEO satellite networks are transforming maritime connectivity, but continuous coverage, seamless handoff and security gaps remain a challenge.

The Failure: A supply vessel upgraded to high-speed LEO internet, but moving between GEO and LEO links caused random outages and exposed the vessel to cyber threats. The crew lost updates and telemetry data just when they needed them most.

How Argus Prevents It: Argus orchestrates traffic across LEO, GEO, LTE, and more - automatically shifting sessions, applying Zero Trust, and keeping critical data moving, no matter the ocean or orbit.

2. The Utility Provider Grappling with Edge Computing and IIoT

Industry Trend: Utilities are deploying edge devices and Industrial IoT (IIoT) sensors everywhere, but the attack surface is exploding - and so are the risks.

The Failure: New sensors at remote substations delivered valuable data, but legacy firewalls couldn’t keep up and patchy connectivity left critical alarms undelivered. Cyber threats and physical failures left teams in the dark.

How Argus Prevents It: Argus provides automated, policy-driven segmentation and resilient multi-bearer connectivity for IIoT. Critical alerts get through, devices stay protected, and operations keep running - on any network, at any edge.

3. The Mining Operation Adapting to Data Sovereignty Laws

Industry Trend: New data sovereignty and privacy regulations are forcing organizations to prove where data travels and resides.

The Failure: A mining company risked regulatory fines when it couldn’t guarantee that operational data from its new Canadian mine never left the country. Manual tracking failed, and audits became a nightmare.

How Argus Prevents It: With attributable routing and real-time path auditing, Argus ensures every data flow stays in approved locations, generating instant compliance reports and keeping the business - and regulators - confident.

4. The Global Enterprise Embracing Multi-Cloud, Facing Chaos

Industry Trend: Multi-cloud adoption is accelerating, but legacy networks struggle with secure, agile access across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and private data centers.

The Failure: A global manufacturer needed to give a partner secure, instant access to a cloud app - but IT couldn’t keep up. Manual provisioning led to delays, workarounds, and growing security gaps.

How Argus Prevents It: Argus enables secure, instant onboarding for users, apps, and partners across clouds and locations, enforcing Zero Trust policies with one unified platform - no more bottlenecks or risky shortcuts.

5. The Emergency Response Team Needing Rapid, Secure Setup

Industry Trend: Climate-driven disasters are on the rise, and first responders need fast, interoperable comms - often with a mix of LTE, private 5G, and LEO satellite.

The Failure: Wildfire crews arrived with different agency kits - multiple modems, VPN recipes, and manual configs. It took hours to establish comms and left gaps in situational awareness when every second mattered.

How Argus Prevents It: Argus routers plug in and auto-onboard to a unified secure fabric - no matter the underlying network. Comms are live in minutes, not hours, with Zero Trust protection from the first connection.
