Swedish Antenna for Norwegian Oil
One of the better stabilized VSAT antennas built today is being picked up by the oil & gas guys in Norway:
C2SAT has reported a significant sale to the Norwegian Oil and Gas offshore industry. The order refers to C2SAT’s Stabilised VSAT model C2SAT 1.2m Ku.
C2SAT and Trac Networks, in co-operation, have delivered the first stabilised VSAT satellite communication solution in a larger tender. Trac provides the TracSAT service which offers global satellite coverage and functionality.
The strong growth in the off-shore industry originates from a high demand for asymmetric high bandwidth satellite services, which enable transmission of large volumes of data in ship-to-shore applications.
More about the new TracSat bundle, per Per:
"Trac Networks participates in several offshore transmission requests and we are very pleased to proceed to the next level in this business case", says Mr. Per Christiansen, Senior Vice President, Trac Networks.
"The Norwegian Oil & Gas industry is operating in many geographical regions and the need for well performing satellite communication systems, in different kinds of environments, is rapidly growing. This particular system is tailor made according to the customer’s demand. The key features making TracSAT the preferred solution were high reliability and attractive price", says Per Christiansen.
With the price of oil hitting new highs every other day, we know someone’s willing to pay for satcom bandwidth. Whether maritime broadband becomes the norm, as we blogged before, remains to be seen.
