The Challenge
A Maryland-based general contractor faced significant IT challenges when deploying temporary trailers for employees at customer sites, often in remote locations or government bases where traditional Internet service providers (ISPs) were unavailable or unreliable. The company relied on mobile hotspots, which provided marginal speeds and inconsistent connectivity, hindering the performance of critical vertical applications hosted on a virtual server. These applications required stable VPN connections for real-time access, but poor Internet performance led to delays, reduced productivity, and operational inefficiencies. The contractor needed a reliable, secure, and scalable solution to ensure seamless connectivity and support their workforce in challenging environments.
The Solution: A Digital Transformation with Pronto Tech
Pronto Tech, a leading provider of managed IT services, stepped in to address the contractor’s connectivity challenges through expert IT consulting and proactive IT support. Our team designed a tailored digital transformation strategy to enhance connectivity, strengthen cybersecurity, and ensure operational efficiency across all remote sites.
Starlink Implementation for Reliable Connectivity
With the availability of Starlink in Maryland, Pronto Tech transitioned all remote trailer locations to Starlink satellite Internet. The trailers’ easily accessible roofs facilitated quick and efficient installation of Starlink antennas. This solution provided high-speed, reliable Internet access, even in remote areas and government bases where traditional ISPs were unavailable, eliminating the limitations of mobile hotspots.
Site-to-Site VPN for Seamless Access
Leveraging Starlink’s high-speed connectivity, Pronto Tech implemented site-to-site VPN connections between the contractor’s remote trailers and their virtual server. This enabled employees to securely and reliably access critical vertical applications with significantly improved performance, ensuring uninterrupted workflows and enhanced productivity.
Cybersecurity Enhancements for Secure Operations
To safeguard sensitive project data and ensure IT compliance services, Pronto Tech implemented robust cybersecurity measures. We deployed Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and email encryption within the contractor’s systems to protect communications and prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, endpoint protection and monitoring tools were implemented to secure devices at remote sites, mitigating risks in challenging environments.
