Energy
Remote operations are a fact of life in the oil & gas industry. Modern offshore production platforms are data driven and increasingly automated.
Rivada’s Outernet, a unique new LEO network, will offer global energy operators access to sufficient secure network capacity to meet all their data-transport needs in real time, all the time, anywhere on the planet. The Outernet’s advanced global network architecture will enable voice, video and cloud-based applications for digital oilfield communications, leveraging real-time seismic and weather data to increase operational efficiency, lower risk and drive innovation in the sector.
Applications and Opportunities for Global Energy Operations
Realtime Connectivity for Offshore Exploration
Your highly skilled employees cost less, feel better, and stay safer on the shore and in their offices. Yet, you need them to monitor and operate your sophisticated and expensive assets in the dangerous and challenging environment of the sea. The Outernet’s low latency, high-throughput connectivity allows your teams to perform many jobs remotely, using telepresence with two-way high-definition video connections.
Secure and fast Data Backhaul
Modern digitized exploration vessels, drilling rigs, and processing facilities produce huge quantities of data that need to be collected and analyzed. It is the key to safe and efficient operations. Instead of bringing geologists to the site or airlifting data storage, move your data securely back to HQ using the Outernet.
Machine Learning Analytics
With the rapid growth of AI capabilities, high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between data centers and remote facilities are becoming more vital than ever. The Outernet’s symmetrical high-speed data links provide you with the connectivity you need for the AI agents of the future.
Enhanced Resiliency
Protect your critical communication routes with the Outernet as your resilient connectivity layer. Resist natural and manmade disasters and cyberattacks thanks to the Outernet’s independence from terrestrial networks, undersea cables, and the public Internet.
Advanced Video Solutions
Real-time video solutions for offshore operations are essential to optimize drilling operations. With the Outernet’s higher bandwidth and low latency, vast improvements in current and new operations are possible. View live subsea video streams from a remotely operated vehicles (ROV) – or pilot that ROV remotely from onshore.
