Case Study: Skyports Infrastructure achieves faster global vertiport deployment and stronger network security with Fortinet Secure SD‑WAN

U.K. Vertiport Operator Builds Global Infrastructure on Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

Skyports Infrastructure builds and operates vertiports—takeoff, landing and ground infrastructure for eVTOL air taxis and drone services—across the U.K. and internationally. To support distributed operational systems (air-traffic visualization, telemetry, cameras, environmental and safety sensors) the company needed a cost‑effective, flexible and resilient hybrid-cloud network that could scale rapidly while maintaining strong security and regulatory compliance.

Working with Node4, Skyports deployed Fortinet Secure SD‑WAN (backed by FortiGate, FortiSwitch, FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer) to combine advanced traffic steering with integrated multi‑layer security and centralized management. The solution sped up new vertiport rollouts, improved network performance and availability with transparent failover and HA configurations, simplified administration and reporting, and strengthened compliance and operational confidence.
