RigNet Scoops Multi-Vessel Deal with Subsea Contractor

RigNet said it has been awarded a multi-vessel contract providing RigNet’s managed communication network for an undisclosed offshore energy service company that performs well intervention, subsea contracting and other services.

RigNet also is delivering communication services to a national oil company and the vessel owner through its customer for their operations in Brazil.

“We are delighted to be given the opportunity to provide RigNet’s managed services and Network Operation Center’s support to our customer and the two other customers onboard the vessels,” said Steven Pickett, RigNet’s CEO and president. “Our valued customer performs critical services to a wide variety of energy customers. We are committed to deliver the high quality of service our brand is built on to all of our customers.”

To ensure communications for these vessels, RigNet will use VSAT technology to deliver a fully managed, end-to-end, network.

The contract includes managed communications by RigNet’s Global Network Operation Centers (GNOC) for technical support, which will include installation, commission, monitoring and maintenance.
