SATELLITES

Offshore and onshore

The oil and gas sector’s remote locations often mean heavy dependence on satellite solutions. Minimizing costs is key for most companies in this field, particularly when bandwidth needs continue to grow due to technological advances in exploration and production. Complex data from remote drilling sites are transmitted to corporate head offices for analysis by way of Online Systems connectivity services through highlighted solutions. Online Systems integrates instant connectivity at construction sites and once development is complete, satellite becomes an ideal solution for new urban developments or city outskirts. Construction companies and master developers can have regular updates from their construction sites through high-speed internet access.
