Resilient Branch Connectivity with SD-WAN and Satellite
summary
Fortinet Secure SD-WAN deploys across 20 sites with dark fiber, MPLS, cable, ADSL and satellite fallbacks, proving Starlink Mini pulls ~200 Mbps in the field and saves isolated towns during multi-day fiber cuts. Implementation uses a mesh VPN for encrypted east‑west traffic, per‑site inspection where hardware allows, and exposes DNS/DHCP and routing gotchas that broke failovers. Operational result: resilience improves, outages still occur, and rollout aims for 40–50 sites by year end after months of tuning and lessons learned.
