Built on Cisco Identity Service Engine (ISE) and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, C Spire Passport allows field technicians to remotel view, manage and securely deploy network devices from any location quickly and with little disruption.

According to solutions architect Jason Barbee, IT teams can set up pre-configured networks that include connectivity, management, visibility, and security controls in a composable service.

Field technicians can then use these templates, customize them through an easy-to-use wizard and deploy them in an intersection within an hour – ensuring connectivity across any protocol available at that location, whether it’s fiber, cellular, satellite or a combination. C Spire Passport was beta’ed by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) at eight intersections across the state, connecting traffic cabinets to a central traffic management center (TMC).
