Support levels
Airwave operates with three Priority Levels for support: - Priority 1 (P1) - total service outage/loss of Service. - Priority 2 (P2) - serious service degradation - Priority 3 (P3) - service requests and minor/cosmetic issues. Incidents are triaged and categorised (P1, P2 or P3) by the Helpdesk. We routinely resolve most P3 remotely, which will normally carry no charge. Where a P1 or P2 cannot be resolved remotely, our engineering team are despatched by the help desk teams to site. We have a ticketing system and sophisticated incident management system that tracks progress on all faults once received by the Helpdesk. Where deemed appropriate, and in all P1 cases, immediate escalation is triggered for senior level intervention and management of any required resolution actions. Coast for call outs is dependent on the fault, whether warranty is involved, or third party intervention. We work closely with our customers and develop a bespoke service wrap and tariffs on each service we deploy.
Support available to third parties

Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
On contract award, Airwave will sign a Project Manager to mobilise and manage an extensive discovery and planning process, under which we would map and document the infrastructure, commissioning stages, secure access specific to the customer's requirements, and add to this a bespoke, comprehensive mobilising and in-life training/support plan. Once in the stages of going live, we orchestrate delivery of the bundle of online user training and awareness, which will include documentation covering usage, security, audit, incident management, set up of contact with help desk, and provision for periodic training if/when required. While most training/support will be delivered remotely, we will provide on-site support where required. In addition to the formal training, Airwave's client account manager and their supporting teams will be available for user ad-hoc support and training.

End-of-contract process
At the end of the contract a termination process will commence, detailing the specifics of the contract, any termination fees, and options to purchase equipment if required. We will arrange to cease the services and close down our access, monitoring and services from your systems. Any user data collected and required will be extracted under a specific process. This is usually included within the supply contract and not subject to extra charge. Removal of equipment will be chargeable.
