Energy & Natural Resources
The need is growing rapidly for real-time information and management of widely dispersed facilities such as crude oil, petroleum, natural gas, electric power and water.
The oil and gas industry, which produces some of the world’s most in-demand natural resources, requires complex and secure communications. We understand that your communication requirements increase as oil and gas exploration, drilling, and production facilities become increasingly advanced.
Personnel on offshore rigs need reliable voice and data communications with other offshore and land-based operation centers in order to meet operating requirements and maximize efficiencies. Stratos provides many different remote communication solutions, enabling “extended office” connectivity around the world. This means your rigs offshore can utilize LAN, Internet and other applications that, in the past, were almost impossible.
