We have recently been approached by a new customer requiring two internet solution for their residentials on an island Atoll. They came to us asking for speed and reliability to minimise business disruption when spending time on their little island in this remote paradise. Considering the remote location of the instal, we wanted to keep the solutions as easy and simple as possible, minimizing instal requirements and remote support.
This will allow employees on the atoll to deploy the solution, with our team remotely setting it up, to cut travel costs. We decided to opt for a combination of Cellular and the Starlink High Performance Flat Panel, with a Peplink BR1 Pro 5G as central router. This combination has been extensively tested by our team, achieving great results in terms of speed and reliability for the internet connection. The single Peplink web interface is also extremely user-friendly, even for clients to make minor adjustments to their network if they require so.
To make these two solutions even more resilient and bulletproof, we implemented Iridium GO! as a backup, ready to kick in in case of extreme bad weather and/or temporary Starlink Network connectivity issues. This will allow the residents and guests of the Atoll to live fully life in paradise, stay connected with all the digital comforts as they were on mainland. This solution worked so well in this location that we decided to deploy it on a 51ft sailing catamaran that is mostly sailing in the same area. The owner asked for fast internet, an easy single interface to manage the network, and satellite connection as backup. This combination of Peplink with Starlink, and Iridium GO! as back up is exactly what the customer was looking for.
