Satellite Network Deployment Support 

 

In a typical network deployment, the customer assumes responsibility for routine (“Tier 1”) support activities such as remote installations, attending to end-user calls and basic maintenance. 

Customers have the option of outsourcing more involved network maintenance to Hughes. These “Tier 2” tasks include:

  • Day-to-day adjustments to the network configuration to achieve optimal performance.
  • Network status monitoring from the Hughes operations center. 
  • Network status and traffic reports on an ongoing basis.
  • Software upgrades as needed.
  • Quarterly network audits to identify ways to improve performance and lower costs.

At the highest level of support, Hughes Customer Assistance Center (CAC) offers “Tier 3” help desk service, including:

  • Respond to network performance issues as they arise, with automatic escalation for critical problems.
  • Meet with the customer bi-weekly to review network issues.
  • Troubleshoot and fix any system-level issues that are reported.
  • Coordinate with the development team to update software.
  • Audit the network annually to identify software and/or hardware upgrades.
  • Monitor network traffic growth and proactively suggest ways to manage that growth. 
  • Provide documentation of all changes to the network configuration and operation.  

These and other service options are described in our Support Brochure (click to download).
