Intelsat’s global solution, utilizing the IS-701, IS-905 and IS-904
satellites, will allow 16 oil and gas vessels traversing the Atlantic,
Pacific and Indian Oceans to transmit voice and data traffic to
Saipem’s land-based operations center located in Europe, says an
official release.
Each of the 16 vessels will be equipped with a 2.4 meter C-band
maritime antenna to communicate with Intelsat’s satellite system.
This network is integrated into Saipem’s global terrestrial network,
which is managed by Albacom, a telecom provider.
According to Telespazio network and multimedia business unit manager
Paolo Binelli, "Intelsat's robust network is well suited to
carry this solution as it offers Saipem the flexibility and reliability
it needs to communicate efficiently to and from almost any ocean
region on a global scale. In the oil and gas industry, it is important
to have a trustworthy and secure network, such as Intelsat’s, in
place to transmit data between ocean-based vessels and processing
centers in order to maintain the accuracy and integrity of the information."
"Intelsat’s diverse network and four decades of experience
as a satellite services leader, combined with Telespazio’s service
provision strength, create a winning combination that allows us
to pass along a valuable knowledge base to customers on land or
at sea," Intelsat ltd, COO, Ramu Potarazu was quoted in the
release, saying so.
"Our strength and know-how in the provision of services to
important vertical markets, such as oil and gas, gives our customers
the peace of mind that information critical to the success of their
businesses is being transmitted in a steadfast, reliable manner,"
he added.
