Wide Area Network Services for Department of Education
The Department of Education ”Department” required a more reliable and robust network environment to provide connectivity to their schools.
An US territory’s Department of Education required a more reliable and robust network environment to provide connectivity to their schools. The existing wireless data links to the schools in the District were not only slow but also unreliable; which negatively impacted the District. The Department turned to SDI for a new solution that would improve bandwidth and capabilities.
SDI provided next generation wireless broadband technology that spans over 43 miles of ocean to link each of the schools together, and is able to withstand the adverse environment of the Islands, including rain fade conditions and mountainous terrain. The solution was engineered to meet the client’s requirement of 99.999% uptime, using radio components that are capable of 300MB/sec. In addition, this broadband technology has built-in layers of redundancy designed to mitigate interference, which allows for maximum throughput when sending data and is further enhanced with digital error correction. Using upgradable software equipment to eliminate replacement costs, the system components will stay viable well beyond the course of the four year contract with SDI.
