CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY
A major energy-sector customer uses dual LTE links to provide connectivity to nearshore platforms, one as primary
and the other as backup. Providing a third level of failover is a VSAT link. Traditional dynamic routing protocol keep-
alive messages are used to trigger failover. Standard routing protocol metrics are used to manipulate the WAN path
selection. By using Speedcast SD-WAN, the customer is able to experience higher performance, reliability, resiliency
and redundancy and advance its digital journey with simple, cloud-enabled networking and security.

THE MULTI-PATH, MULTI-ORBIT CHALLENGE


For higher resilience and better coverage, the customer has VSAT and LTE links set up at their platforms. However, the multiple LTE’s are causing
asymmetric routing issues and transmission failures, and traditional routing protocols that rely on keep-alive messages are slow to reconverge.
More often than not, degradation of LTE signal strength does not trigger the failover process and manual failover to the VSAT link is required
when both LTE links are completely down. At the end of the day, just one link is available at a time due to lack of bandwidth aggregation.

THE DIFFERENCE WITH INTELLIGENT, SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORKING


Working close with Speedcast’s subject matter experts to assess their needs and deploy the most suitable SD-WAN solution, the
customer is able to increase bandwidth and improve application performance at their remote sites. Once the solution has been
designed, Speedcast’s field engineering team installed the SD-WAN solution in one day. It’s continuously supported by the Speedcast
Customer Service Center with proactive monitoring around the clock. Some of the most impactful SD-WAN features is its automated
route detection, where it is able to quickly detect degraded links and automatically reroute in real time, eliminating problem links for a
seamless customer experience. Its ability to aggregate multiple LTE links into a single high-throughput connection increases bandwidth
capacity and better application performance. When network traffic and WAN selection are based on Quality of Service (QoS), the
performance of critical applications can be prioritized according to their business needs.
