Intelligent comms for Transocean
Harris CapRock Communications will install its system on Transocean’s entire fleet as part of a multiyear contract renewal for complete managed communications services. The contract provides satellite communications services and includes intelligent communications service on all current vessels, as well as pending new builds. Transcocean provides mobile offshore drilling units to find and develop oil and natural gas reserves.
“Harris CapRock is providing us with a complete communications solution founded on breakthrough technology that delivers robust, always-on service anywhere in the world,” said Steve Fraser, IT director, Transocean.
“They offered us the flexibility to control our costs and the ability to be more agile in responding to the market.”
The managed end-to-end communications solution includes teleport and satellite services, backhaul, dedicated bandwidth for crew internet, traffic optimisation and cybersecurity services. The upgrade will provide improved system performance while reducing downtime and maintenance costs and doubling available bandwidth for the fleet.
