RigNet will continue providing two Transocean offshore drilling rigs in the North Sea with managed communication for another two years.
Transocean is the world's largest offshore drilling company. Its Barents and Spitsbergen rigs are world-class semi-submersible offshore drilling rigs that operate in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
Like other members of the oil and gas community, the Transocean rigs rely upon a high-performance and secure network that ensures offshore and onshore communications, as well as access to business-critical IT applications.
To that end, Transocean extended their contract with RigNet. The managed remote communications company will provide a fully-managed end-to-end IP network solution that ensure last-mile connectivity through maritime VSAT technology.
RigNet's solution includes VoIP, enterprise data and Internet access services. Riverbed Steelhead appliances will power a WAN optimization service that will improve end user experience. Rignet's Network Operations Center will also provide 24/7 network monitoring and support, and it can also dispatch local field technician support if needs necessitate it.
By increasing the levels of standardization and innovation, RigNet's managed solution will allow the Transocean rigs to gain more from their network services.
Øyvind Folge, RigNet's Area Manager for the Nordic Region and Continental Europe, announced it a pleasure for RigNet to continue providing service to Transocean's important semi-submersible North Sea rigs.
RigNet provides managed remote communications, networks and collaborative applications worldwide. Specializing in the oil and gas industry customers, it serves offshore and onshore drilling rigs, energy production facilities, and energy maritime with distinction.
