Vizocom’s Satellite Solution provides the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) with 40Mbps Internet Connectivity to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria in 2017
Government Agencies rely on dependable communication in their operational camps as well as between headquarters and remote sites. Continuous access to mission-critical information, remote management of camps, offices, and facilities, – as well as HSE activities, SCADA, and organizational human resources are all areas in which communication is vital.
Client
The Department of Defense Education Activity is a civilian agency of the United States Department of Defense that manages all schools for military children and teenagers in the United States and overseas at American military bases worldwide.
The Challenge
As a result of hurricane damage to the optical fiber infrastructure of Puerto Rico, Ramey School lost all connectivity with the Internet and the DoDEA WAN. The island’s optical fiber infrastructure repair and restoration was expected to take several months to complete, so an interim connectivity solution was critical for Ramey School to continue to function. DoDEA needed all equipment and services necessary to install and maintain a turnkey satellite internet system for Ramey School for 3 months with two additional 3-month option periods
