The Solution Using Global Wireless Solutions and Technology for hardware and Global Fusion, the carrier, for backhaul VSAT services, Coral Wireless and Video designed a rapidly deployable high bandwidth, internet and Telco connection. This connection had to also be upgradeable to offer Cellular international termination as well as prepaid calling card functionality and retail credit card services and ATM cash dispensary. Global Fusion was the only VSAT operator with this capability. Global Wireless Solutions and Technology was the only manufacturer of this type of hardware. |
The Outcome Given a 4-week time frame for implementation after the initial engineering was completed, the installation services from both hardware team and Carrier team interacted superbly.
