Supplying vital data from your assets

The network is the most crucial component in the GlobalWave® system— connecting signals from your communication terminals with your office. Data is collected by sensors on the communication terminals and transmitted in packets to the satellite which then relays them to the GlobalWave Earth Station Equipment, which then sends the information via landline to the Network Operations Center. It then processes the data and forwards it to your operations center by direct leased line, dial-up modem, public or private networks or private e-mail via the Internet. To send a message to an asset, the process works the same in reverse.

Earth Station Equipment (ESE)
The GlobalWave ESE serves much the same role as a telephone company's central office: it establishes connections and routes transmissions throughout the network. Typically located at the GlobalWave Regional Operator's satellite uplink facility, the ESE provides two-way satellite-terrestrial interface between communications terminals and the GlobalWave Network Operations Center.

The Network Operations Center (NOC)
The NOC controls and manages GlobalWave network traffic by:

• Interfacing with GlobalWave service providers by landline, accepting schedules and messages and returning messages
• Interfacing with the Earth Station Equipment by landline, generating, transferring and accepting messages
• Controlling characteristics, schedules, and states of the communications terminals
  
  

The NOC employs a fully redundant computer system and an uninterrupted power supply, ensuring that your service remains up and running no matter what.
