Marlink, a smart network solutions provider, will provide a global hybrid network solution to vessels operated by Subsea 7, a subsea installation giant in the offshore energy industry space.
Marlink will provide a secure hybrid network solution to Subsea 7, combining its global Sealink VSAT solution with L-band back-up, global 4G cellular services, and connection to the Tampnet network for operations in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
The contract, of an undisclosed value, includes the provision of guaranteed throughput including a Committed Information Rate (CIR) at a level normally only found in the leisure/cruise sector, Marlin said.
