RigNet wins SE Asia contract

RigNet Inc., a Houston-based global provider of remote-managed offshore communications, telecoms systems integration services and collaborative applications to the oil and gas industry, was awarded a multi-year contract to deliver high-quality remote offshore communications services to a major operator of offshore drilling and production assets in Southeast Asia.

"Remote connectivity is not a commodity service in the markets we serve. The combination of higher-specification assets working in increasingly remote locations, while utilizing smarter tools and networked teams, makes secure and reliable access a critical aspect of today's energy industry," says Mark Slaughter, RigNet's chief executive and president. "To meet these needs, RigNet delivers a communications architecture designed from the outset to include real-time traffic management and around-the-clock support to enable operations to flourish in the most challenging conditions."

RigNet will provide comprehensive managed remote communications solutions on the customer's mobile offshore production unit, including telephony, network support and onboard crew WiFi service. A fiber optic backhaul will connect the client's headquarters to RigNet's Singapore teleport.  Network monitoring and support will be managed 24/7 from RigNet's Global Network Operations Center, with in-country support services provided on their offshore site as required.

Through VSAT technology, RigNet provides fully managed, end-to-end connectivity and network monitoring, capable of dispatching local field technicians when required. to more than 1200 remote sites in 50 countries on six continents, effectively spanning the drilling and production industry.
