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).
