Provider of remote communication and IT solutions SpeedCast International has won two new systems integration projects with an unnamed fabrication company working for the oil and gas industry.

SpeedCast said on Wednesday that the company was named the telecoms systems integrator on both projects and would be responsible for all telecommunications components.

Under the terms of the agreements, the company will design, integrate, test, and deliver the entire communications systems solution.

According to the company, the first of these projects is in support of a new wellhead platform to be located offshore Brazil and the telecom package includes 14 systems.

The second is for a new pipeline support platform to be located in the Gulf of Mexico and the telecom package includes 19 systems.

These systems include elements such as wide-area and local area networks, closed-circuit television (CCTV), company phone, public address and general alarm (PAGA), television receive-only (TVRO), and meteorological monitoring.
