One Network. Every Transport. Every Asset.
CAE deploys, integrates, and sustains SD-WAN networks that treat every available transport — GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite, cellular LTE/5G, fiber, microwave, and tactical RF — as one orchestrated fabric, and every asset — fixed, deployed, or moving — as a full network citizen.
We don't sell boxes or bill for airtime. Transport and platform come from the carriers and network operators we serve; CAE delivers the systems engineering, deployment, training, and lifetime field support that make them one dependable network — with particular depth at the sites operators find hardest to reach and sustain.
SD-WAN: Resilience as an Architecture, Not an Accessory
Software-defined wide-area networking is the orchestration layer that makes true contingency communications possible. CAE-supported SD-WAN networks continuously measure the health of every available path and steer traffic by application priority — voice, telemetry, video, data — across whichever transports currently perform.
Automated PACE failover: your Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency paths are engineered in advance and executed by the network in milliseconds — not improvised by an operator mid-crisis.
Protocol depth: our SME network carries design and installation certifications across the common transport and networking protocols, and we integrate the legacy systems — analog radio, serial SCADA, proprietary links — that your operation still depends on.
Encrypted end-to-end, centrally managed, and monitored 24/7/365 by our operator partners' NOCs — with CAE field engineers on escalation when the fix requires boots on the ground.
CAE-suported solutions have included: iDirect VSAT, Starlink, OneWeb, and Iridium terminals; GSM, UMTS, CDMA, LTE/NR cellular failover; integrated WiMAX, Privately-licensed Microwave links, dark and subleased lit fiber, VHF/UHF, and SD-WAN and bandwidth-management platforms such as Datadragon®.
Mobile Assets, Fully Connected — On-the-Move and On-the-Pause
A network that only works when everything is standing still can never be optimized nor resilient. CAE integrates mobile assets across every domain into your unified network fabric:
AIR — Fixed-wing, rotary, and unmanned systems: airborne connectivity, sensor/video backhaul, and command-and-control links that persist through maneuver.
SEA — Vessels, platforms, and ports: maritime SATCOM with coastal LTE and/or licensed Microwave augmentation, automatically blended for cost and continuity.
LAND — Vehicles, convoys, and deployed teams: comms-on-the-move (COTM) for assets in motion, and rapid-erect comms-on-the-pause (COTP) kits that establish full connectivity within minutes of a halt.
Every mobile asset appears on the same network, under the same policy, with the same situational awareness as your fixed sites — one common operating picture, in motion.
