An aircraft that has to be talked to
Air navigation is the clearest case there is of a network that cannot be best-effort. The communications, surveillance and data links behind a control position are safety systems, and they are judged on the day they fail rather than the day they are installed.
Aviation does not fail gracefully
Most enterprise networks degrade: a page loads slowly, a call drops, someone dials in again. Air traffic communications do not have that middle state.
A single path, bought from a reseller
- One circuit to a remote site, with no second route and no automatic failover
- “Redundancy” that turns out to share the same fibre, duct or landing point
- Support escalation that crosses a border before it reaches anyone with access
- Restoration priority set by a contract the aviation authority never saw
Two independent paths on plant we own
- Primary on protected metro or backbone fibre, with the route documented
- Secondary over our own teleport — genuinely separate, not a second fibre in the same trench
- Monitoring into an operations centre staffed in Mogadishu around the clock
- One company accountable for the whole path, with engineers who can reach the site
The pieces an aviation programme actually needs
We are an infrastructure operator, not an air traffic systems vendor. What we bring is the connectivity layer underneath — and we work alongside whoever supplies the operational systems.
Site connectivity
- Airfields and remote stations
- Fibre where it reaches, satellite where it does not, and both where the site cannot lose service
- Control centres
- Protected circuits onto our backbone, with documented alternate routing
Ground-to-air support
- Backhaul for radio sites
- Carrying the links between remote radio installations and the control position
- Latency-aware design
- Paths chosen for consistency, not just headline capacity
Hosting
- In-country systems
- Colocation in Mogadishu for systems that should not sit on another continent
- Recovery
- A restore point inside the country, cross-connected to four cable systems
Operations
- Monitoring
- Circuits watched from our own NOC, with alerting agreed in advance
- Response
- Engineers based in the same city as the equipment
Bring us the availability requirement
Tell us the sites, the systems they carry and the availability you have to demonstrate. We will come back with the paths, what is already on our network, what needs building, and where satellite is the more honest answer.
