Abstract
Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to providing redundancy for satellite uplink facilities using software-defined networking ('SDN'). According to one aspect disclosed herein, a satellite network system can include a video collection facility ('VCF'), a remote uplink facility (“RUF”), and a diverse uplink facility (“DUF”) in direct communication with a core network. An SDN controller that operates in an SDN network that provides logical SDN links to the VCF, the RUF, the DUF, and the core network. The SDN controller can track a site configuration of the RUF. The SDN controller can detect that the RUF has been downed due to an adverse event such as inclement weather. The SDN controller can obtain the site configuration of the RUF. The SDN controller can cause a redundant remote uplink facility (“RRUF”) to be instantiated with the site configuration of the RUF.
