IsNet creates back-up network for enterprise customer using PolarSat VSAT modems


PolarSat satellite communications technology served as the foundation of the VSAT back-up network that Turkish service provider IsNet recently completed for a local oil and gas company. In case the enterprise customer's terrestrial network suffers from an outage of connectivity, the IsNet back-up system will immediately deliver satellite connectivity on demand.

The Inset VSAT network serves as a back-up to the terrestrial Next Generation Network (NGN). It is a full mesh all-IP based network comprised of sixteen sites scattered throughout Turkey. Each site is equipped with the PolarSat VSATPlus 3 MF-TDMA satellite modem and support a complex mix of voice and data communications. IsNet manages the entire backup network from its operational control center.

The private network uses VSATPlus 3 to eliminate any single point of failure and ensure greater reliability. In addition, the full mesh capability of the PolarSat satellite modem lets a station link up with any other site in the network with only a single hop over the satellite. And since the sites can share bandwidth with each other, the cost of implementing the satellite network was greatly decreased.
