SolveForce Air-to-Ground Networks, Airport OT Security, and Evidence-Backed Compliance
Aviation spans airlines, airports, ANSPs, MROs, cargo handlers, and ground ops. SolveForce engineers telecom-grade air-to-ground & satcom connectivity, airport OT/ICS segmentation, multi-cloud data platforms, and immutable evidence—so flight, turn, and passenger operations run fast, safe, and audibly from gate to cruise.

🛣️ Quote Process for Aviation (transparent, ops-ready)
- Scope & Intake (Day 0–3) — airline/airport/MRO scope, fleet & terminals, routes/turn windows, compliance objectives.
- Discovery & Supplier Graph (Day 3–10) — satellite footprints, 5G/DAS/Wi-Fi coverage, airport fiber/IX adjacency, AODB/AIDX/ACARS catalogs.
- Design-to-Quote (Day 7–14) — end-to-end architecture, BoM, SLO tables, evidence plan, compliance overlays.
- Review & Refine (Day 14–20) — Good/Better/Best options, handover tests, turn KPIs, privacy/security controls, rollout waves.
- Finalize & Order (Day 20+) — antenna/terminal installs, SIMs/cross-connects, system turn-ups; acceptance sign-off & immutable bundle.
