BGAN Provides ‘Eyes and Ears’ for Oil Rigs

RigStat LP BGAN case study

BGAN is the only mobile satellite service to offer broadband data with simultaneous voice, through a single, truly portable device on a global basis. It is also the first service to offer guaranteed data rates on demand – up to 256kbps – for live video and videoconferencing. Although designed for mobile use on land, it performs reliably as a fixed satellite link in harsh maritime environments. RigStat LP makes systems that are the ‘eyes and ears’ for oil rigs and terminals, keeping a watch over them even when they are unmanned during hurricanes. The Texas-based company started in 2004 and has conducted most of its business to date in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). However, as its reputation grows, it is finding customers in South America, Australia and other regions. RigStat is now using Inmarsat BGAN to provide an always-on connection for some of its installations, sending data every hour over the Inmarsat network. [via]
