LAN infrastructure , structured cabling, Wi-Fi and campus-wide Microwave
By incorporating the entire portfolio of standard works for camp services Defaultroute are ideally positioned to become a single source provider. We have been engaged a number of times to offer upgrades to pre-existing infrastructure which became the basis for our growth and capability. Now we are asked regularly to audit new camps and facilities as well as to help and support incumbent IT teams to offer assistance and support.
Our physical engineering from trenching and earth works for fibre ducting to cable-traying for UTP runs is all standards based and fully guaranteed. LAN services including point to multipoint microwave or Wi-Fi bridging and meshing are all undertaken with the same due care to quality from choosing the right equipment to installation, configuration and support.
As a knowledge-centric business we don’t outsource our intellectual services at all. The provisioning of the LAN data plane to include the network switching equipment, the carrier/transit mechanism (whether wired or wireless), the routing and security of the flow are all undertaken by us.

Qualified O3b installation team
Through 2015 our O3b engineering team (photo above) were trained by O3b at the O3b training facility in the USA as well as the UAE. As a result of our qualified team and experience Defaultroute has been contracted to install to commission two of the three currently operational O3b systems in Iraq (correct as of March 2016).
Our first install made at IEC was completed in September of 2015 and is now operated by the Petronor Group. The IEC install just outside of Burgesia, Iraq was a fully redundant 3-dish array with a full Cisco Nexus/ASR backend and was installed over a 6 month period between May and September 2015. To be clear, the 6 month project include all civil engineering, concrete clockwork, trenching, electrical and cable work, physical install and security. The second was a 2-dish array operated by MEOSAT out of the UNAOIL Camp. In the case of MEOSAT a full overhaul of an incumbent system was required due to a strategic move. The design of the first iteration was replicated somewhat by placing the array onto steel ISO containers and yet included much needed health and safety improvements as well as structural integrity measures to ensure stability during high winds.
