Today's workforce is mobile, unplugged, and requires high-performance connectivity. With multi-network integration, enterprises can overcome the limitations of single-network solutions - ensuring their remote sites and personnel remain in touch and operational.
Network interruption and failures mean downtime for businesses. Regardless of industry, downtime is costly, with estimates depending on company size from $100,000 + per hour. A point-of-sales system shutdown for a commercial retailer, a missed alert from AI-operated equipment on an LNG pipeline, and loss of contact with personnel during a surveillance mission means not only loss of revenue and productivity but also impact to the environment and safety.
We understand that ensuring constant, reliable communication is critical, especially for businesses operating in remote or challenging environments. That’s why at Network Innovations, we seamlessly manage the networks of multiple providers, guaranteeing reliable and uninterrupted remote connectivity.
What is Multi-Network Integration?
When integrating satellite networks, multi-network integration brings together the strengths of various providers to develop a powerful and flexible connectivity solution.
Every satellite network available today offers unique capabilities. By leveraging their collective advantages, organizations can minimize disruptions and enhance performance. This approach also allows for prioritized use of bandwidth and resources: one network can manage everyday data and communications, while others supports high-bandwidth or low-latency needs.
Beyond satellite networks, multi-network integration can also include the combination of various technologies like cellular, fiber, and Wi-Fi to address a broad range of connectivity needs.
Example: Enhancing Connectivity for a Remote Oil Rig
To illustrate the power of multi-network integration in satellite, consider the case of a remote oil rig operating in a difficult-to-reach location.
- Operated by SpaceX, Starlink offers global satellite internet coverage with a focus on high-speed and low-latency connections. Its Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are ideal for general internet access and basic communications.
- Eutelsat OneWeb also operates a satellite constellation designed to provide global broadband access, emphasizing high-speed and low-latency connectivity. However, its network is optimized for enterprise applications that require robust and reliable communication channels.
While both networks aim for global coverage, their combined use in this hypothetical scenario ensures consistent coverage in hard-to-reach areas, with prioritized failover and backup redundancy, ensuring the oil rig is always reachable and in constant contact. Using Starlink for general internet and welfare needs and Eutelsat OneWeb for critical applications, such as large-volume data transmission, ensures that each type of service is delivered with optimal performance.
