The network consisted of a number of disparate systems and a complicated arrangement of generic \u2018special purpose\u2019 nodes, located by necessity in various areas within the building. The problems in the network were unmanageable, and they were being resolved reactively by personnel who operated from within a control area left over from telex operations. The Cornet MTX matrix switch was the clear choice to resolve these network problems, as the MTX switch could help network operators in three distinct areas:
\u2022 Proactive alarm alerting on individual circuit problems
\u2022 Ability to restore user service immediately by patching in spare resources
\u2022 Centralised test and diagnostic tool to facilitate a repair action All from within a central location.
The Cornet MTX switch became instrumental in providing centralised interface alarm monitoring and alerting, fully electronic reconfiguration patching and sparing and remotely managed test, monitor and diagnostics facilities. ” max_width=”200px”]\n

Together with EADS, Cornet Switching Systems installed four major MTX 256 matrix switches, at two SGSs, together with various system test and development switches at other UK locations. The contract includes the provision of ongoing support services. The Skynet 5 satellites are capable of beaming communications signals between MOD headquarters in the UK and British forces deployed around the world. They are also used in the field of welfare services to enable a free message service for service personnel, family and friends. The Skynet 5 Satellites are the most powerful military X band satellites launched to date by any nation and will allow high data rates to be available to small and disadvantaged terminals, typically used as \u2018first in\u2019 for disaster and rescue operations as well as military missions.” max_width=”200px” custom_margin=”10px|||”]\n
