Case Study
Visa
Visa is a major satellite customer and BT
Satcomms presently manages their satellite network. The service allows
Visa to provide card services to their customers in places where terrestrial
infrastructure might not achieve excellent availability levels. The
associated VSAT hub equipment is based at Goonhilly Satellite Earth
Station and is monitored 24 hours a day by a dedicated technical rota
team. The Satcomms team provides monthly reports for Visa on information
such as availability and issues. There is also an escalation mechanism
of 2nd Line technical support based at Goonhilly and in London. The
technical support is also set up to undertake network design and movement
to new technology platforms e.g. IP.
As part of the Satcomms role we manage a network
of suppliers in many varied countries for the Visa service: Belarus, Croatia.Czech
Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Morocco, Romania,
Russia, Slovak Republic, Ukraine, Cyprus, France, Greece, Iceland, Israel,
Malta, Portugal & Turkey.
If our agents in the countries above are unable to
resolve outstanding issues then there is a team of satellite experts
based in the UK which can travel at short notice.
