"Mission Relevant Terrain" mapping

 

The integration of MTN’s StarEdge Horizon into the Cyberspatial TeleSeer platform provides a massive architectural upgrade for "Mission Relevant Terrain" mapping.

By leveraging a Layer 2 private network over Starlink, the combined solution allows TeleSeer to perform deep packet analysis and network visualization on remote assets as if they were on a local corporate LAN, while maintaining a completely air-gapped security posture.

TeleSeer is a PCAP-based visibility tool. Traditionally, getting packet captures from a remote site (like an offshore rig or a forward operating base) meant dealing with high-latency VPNs that often "drop" packets, corrupting the analysis.

• The StarEdge Solution: Because StarEdge Horizon provides a Layer 2 private path, it encapsulates Ethernet frames directly.

• The Benefit: TeleSeer "Scout" or "Hawk" sensors at the remote site can stream live traffic data back to a central TeleSeer dashboard through a dedicated, non-public satellite pipe. This ensures zero packet loss and allows TeleSeer to reconstruct the remote network topology in real-time.

2. Eliminating the "Public Internet" Attack Surface

For Cyberspatial users, the goal is often to map the "Attack Surface." Using the public internet to transmit that map is a security risk.

• The StarEdge Solution: StarEdge keeps data off the public internet by routing it from the Starlink terminal directly to MTN’s regional Points of Presence (PoPs) and then into the customer’s private data center.

• The Benefit: TeleSeer can visualize and monitor Highly Classified or Proprietary Networks without ever exposing the monitoring traffic to public routers, BGP hijacking, or state-actor interception.

3. Visualizing "Multi-Path" Network Continuity

TeleSeer specializes in showing the relationships between network nodes. StarEdge introduces a dynamic, multi-transport layer.

• The StarEdge Solution: StarEdge automatically switches between Starlink (LEO), OneWeb, and 5G/LTE based on congestion.

• The Benefit: TeleSeer can now map and monitor the resiliency of the connection itself. Analysts can see exactly how the network "terrain" changes when it fails over from satellite to 5G, ensuring that critical mission applications (like a Command & Control link) stay prioritized via Quality of Service (QoS).

4. Zero-Trust Asset Discovery at the Edge

One of TeleSeer's primary functions is Passive Asset Discovery (finding "Shadow IT" without scanning).

• The StarEdge Solution: By providing a transparent Layer 2 extension, StarEdge allows TeleSeer to see MAC addresses and ARP traffic from remote sites.

• The Benefit: TeleSeer can identify an unauthorized device plugged into a switch at a remote site thousands of miles away. Because it's a Layer 2 connection, TeleSeer sees the "raw" network layer, which is usually hidden by Layer 3 (IP) routers.

Synergized "Mission Command" Stack

Layer	Component	Function in the Integrated Stack
Transport	StarEdge Horizon	Private Layer 2 "Backbone" using Starlink/LEO for global reach.
Terrain Mapping	TeleSeer	Visualizes the "Cyber Geography" and maps vulnerabilities.
Intelligence	RocketWorx (Equitus)	Analyzes the "Why" and "Who" behind the traffic mapped by TeleSeer.
Governance	ArcXA	Ensures the data migration from remote sites is auditable and explainable.

The "Bottom Line": MTN StarEdge Horizon provides the secure plumbing that allows Cyberspatial TeleSeer to act as a Global Network Operations Center (NOC). It turns a "local" network mapping tool into a "global" situational awareness platform that is immune to public internet outages and threats.
