ITC Global, a provider of satellite communications to remote and harsh environments, has announced that it has been awarded two multi-million dollar contracts, each spanning three years, to provide remote offshore communications to five floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels based in Western Africa. Service is being delivered to several major European-based oil and gas companies including Saipem and Eni.
The FPSOs, operating in the Congo, Angola, and Equatorial Guinea, are each outfitted with two C-band stabilized antennas, delivering between 4 and 10 Mbps high data rate service to the vessels. The custom engineered solution was designed to enable increased automation at the remote site, reducing the number of remote workers required on each FPSO at one time.
In August, ITC Global was acquired by Panasonic Corp. of North America and now operates as an independent unit of Panasonic Avionics Corp., a provider of inflight communications and entertainment systems to the aviation market. Joining Panasonic further enables ITC Global to help customers meet demands for increased bandwidth, better performance, and overall lower costs for satcom systems, networks, and equipment.
