Harris CapRock Communications has launched a fully
managed satellite, wireless and terrestrial connectivity
service designed to reduce customers’ voice, data and
equipment management costs.
Harris CapRock One is an intelligent, highly-integrated,
end-to-end service that transparently switches between the
various transport mediums to optimize communications for
customers around the globe.
Customers in the energy and cruise industry, for example,
often struggle to obtain reliable, always-on communications when
their vessels, drilling sites and ships change their global
positions and communications needs. With Harris CapRock One,
they can replace current single or dual-band communications
support options with a multiple-medium solution that exceeds
their needs by providing optimal connectivity at any given time.
“Harris CapRock is going to drastically change the way our
clients experience managed communications services,” said Tracey
Haslam, president, Harris CapRock. “Harris CapRock One is the
first commercial service of its kind to unify satellite,
wireless and terrestrial connectivity into one platform.
Customers want a solution that is flexible and optimizes their
operations no matter where they are located, or how mobile their
assets are. Harris CapRock One delivers that and more.”
Harris CapRock’s unique service offering combines a
multi-band antenna with an Intelligent Communications Director
(ICD). The multi-band antenna allows for C-, Ku- and Ka-band
connectivity with no additional moving parts, meaning that any
satellite orbiting the Earth can be accessed with no technician
intervention required. The ICD is a geographically aware
smartbox that recognizes where the multi-band antenna is around
the world and carries a database of the network footprints
available. The device is aware of the operator’s traffic and can
route traffic intelligently over the most appropriate network
path based on speed, latency, location and cost. By optimizing
the network traffic, the ICD enhances the end-to-end experience,
completing an intelligent routing solution with end-to-end
application performance management.
Energy and cruise industry businesses can invest in fewer
radomes that support any signal and will self-configure for the
scenario depending on where the vessel or site is in the world.
Ships and oil and gas sites now have multiple communications
choices in one technology solution, achieving the highest uptime
in the industry at 99.999 percent. Customers can receive this
high availability solution for one simple price.
Other telecommunication services supported by Harris CapRock
One include fiber, point-to-point and point-to-multi-point
radio, WiMax, terrestrial Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS),
and private and carrier-based Long Term Evolution (LTE).
Additionally, Harris CapRock can deploy hybrid networks that
leverage multiple transport technologies, providing true “no
touch roaming” services across an entire fleet.
