The Network: 

For customers that are mission critical and need voice/video, we offer our Broadband and High Performance networks. Orbital Data Net has the capacity to prioritize traffic as well as trigger CIR data rates for Radio, VoIP or Video traffic.

We can also provide the customer with “Emergency Backup Network” pricing of bandwidth as well as “Full Time Use.” As in the State of Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi and Missouri, this allows an agency to have a satellite backup of their primary terrestrial and radio connections, at an affordable price. This emergency network is also very efficient and is one of the most versatile networks we offer. IPsec backhauls are available within this network and can be priced upon request.

Utilizing this equipment and configuration, Orbital Data Net has successfully backed up the 700 Mhz Motorola radio networks used by the various agencies of the Louisiana Department of Safety, Minnesota State Police and JPS/Raytheon networks for Missouri Department of Transportation, Highway Patrol and the Missouri Hospital Association. 

Our devices now tie the major Gulf cities such as New Orleans back into the data and voice networks at Baton Rouge and tie sites together for the Missouri Department of Transportation as well as many others.

Training Classes

Orbital Data Net conducts training classes in the use of satellite in mission critical situations. Our philosophy is that the use of a satellite system during disasters needs technicians that are trained and very comfortable with how their equipment operates even if it is automated. Automated equipment can fail to perform for a variety of reasons that can all be overcome with a bit of understanding. Even fixed satellite dishes can fail to operate if they have been damaged by flying debris during a storm. The ODN courses are designed for novices and professionals. Each course is taught by a seasoned professional emergency satellite technician and real world events and solutions are discussed. The courses can be taught during or after your installation has been completed, either on site or at our training center in Missouri. The classes are laid out to be taught in one day and it consists of classroom and then real hands on training.

The ODN classes offered are;

  • Basic Ku-band Satellite Installation and Repair (Fixed systems and Fly Away systems)- 1 Day
  • Basic Ku-band Satellite Installation and Repair (Mobile Auto-commissioning systems)- 1 Day
  • Advanced Ku-band Satellite Operations (P-25 LMR, VoIP and Secure Data Transmission)- 2 Day
  • Basic Ka-band Installer Certification (Web class, at your computer)- 1 Day  (Hands on)- 4 hours
  • Advanced “Holy Cow!” Class (What to do if it doesn’t work in the field)- 1 Day

Advanced classes are only offered if you have taken a basic class all ready.

If you are using our Emergency Satellite Network, we highly recommend these courses as they prepare you for the unforeseen. In a mission critical use of satellite technology, we believe recurrent training is also necessary to be sure that your staff is completely ready at all times to deploy your satellite gear.

If is HAS to work when needed, then training is the key resource you should be taking advantage of.
