Arctic Directory: Schlumberger launches SeaConnect mini-VSAT

Schlumberger said May 13 that it has launched its revolutionary SeaConnect* VSAT service for the offshore industry. The new service is a world first, providing high-performance VSAT services using an innovative portable marine 60-cm C-band antenna and related technologies.

“With its high portability, mobility and small footprint, the SeaConnect service will enable connectivity to any type of offshore vessel or to any service company on a rig,” said Paul Khayat, marketing manager, Schlumberger Global Connectivity Services. “This unique service has been engineered to meet the industry’s needs while providing vessel owners and service companies freedom to have their own secure communications systems.” SeaConnect is a high performance, dedicated and secure VSAT offering based on a fixed-fee unlimited data access. Schlumberger has successfully trailed the SeaConnect service for the last six months on a number of vessels operating in South East Asia. It is available now in South East Asia, and will expand to South Asia, Africa, and Latin America in the coming months. For more information visit www.slb.com.
