Ceragon offers Statoil an end-to-end solution for offshore wireless communications. The Ceragon PointLink solution includes an ultra-high capacity and reliability and range, has been used by Statoil to build reliable broadband connectivity despite the North Sea's unpredictable environment for over four decades. With its high-power, offshore coated radios and gyro-stabilized antennas the Ceragon solution is designed to provide smooth communications with high bandwidth and low latency. The solution is supposed to allow operators to balance high, gigabit capacity with operational efficiency and ensure a reliable network.
