Secure Operations Center (SOC)

MTNGS' solely owned Secure Operations Center (SOC) combines the expertise of both MTN Network Operations Centers (NOCs) into one government dedicated secure control center. The SOC provides 24-hour real-time for all MTNGS customers. While historically MTN has supported customers in a maritime environment, MTNGS provides technical support to land based fixed and mobile site customers.

SOC support includes monitoring and managing customer VSAT systems, terrestrial backbone, and locally and remotely located networking equipment, among others. MTNGS utilizes Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) monitoring tools including iDirect’s Network Monitoring Systems (iBuilder, iMonitor, and iSite), SatManage, SolarWinds, Whatsup Gold, and Remote Access Spectrum Analyzers, in concert with industry standard software including various real-time Network Management tools and BW Analyzer. The MTNGS SOC is capable of providing tier 1 and 2 troubleshooting on all MTNGS products and services.

SOC technicians are capable of providing tier 1 and 2 troubleshooting on all MTNGS products and services. In addition, all technicians are certified in the following:

• iDirect platform
