A
strategic marketing alliance will be formed by O3b Networks and
Harris CapRock Communications. The two companies will be focusing on
an array of ultra high-speed, low latency, exploration, and
production capabilities for satellite
communications services.
Harris
CapRock will also add O3bEnergy to its portfolio of satellite
services for the energy market. The O3b solution has the advantages
of fiber broadband connectivity without the disadvantages of huge
upfront CAPEX investments, outage concerns, immobility, and lengthy
ramp-up times. O3bEnergy is also easy to integrated into existing
enterprise systems and operational budgets.
With
O3bEnergy, oil and gas companies and systems integrators will be able
to enjoy latencies under 150 milliseconds, unlimited and affordable
bandwidth, and big operational savings. The high capacity, low
latency satellite offering can enable real-time seismic surveys of
oil reserves beneath the ocean floor thanks to its speedy data
transfers of up to 2 Terabytes per day.
Harris
CapRock and O3b Networks have teamed up earlier to boost the Internet
experience aboard Oasis
of the Seas. The
flagship of Royal
Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and the largest cruise ship in the world
is one of the many ships in the the maritime service that derives
satellite Internet connectivity from O3b’s Medium Earth Orbit (MEO)
satellite fleet with equipment integrated by Harris CapRock.
O3bEnergy
will enter commercial service in the third quarter of 2013. The
newest addition to Harris CapRock's satellite
communications portfolio is targeted at oil and gas companies and
systems integrators who operate oil and gas rigs and seismic survey
ships in the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, Angola, Asia and other key
maritime regions.
