Global Satellite Communication in the Oil and Gas Industry 2014-2018: Harris CapRock, Inmarsat, KVH, Rignet & Vizada Dominate the Industry
M2 - Wed Feb 19, 9:48AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/65mqlk/global_satellite) has announced the addition of the "Global Satellite Communication Market in the Oil and Gas Industry 2014-2018" report to their offering. Currently, almost 135 UDW rigs are being operated in the Atlantic Ocean. The number of UDW rigs is expected to reach 220-230 units by 2018. Geographically, these rigs will be placed in very risky offshore locations such as in the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean nearer to China, and the Atlantic Ocean nearer to Canada and Greenland. UDW is a very complex exploration process that requires very high safety as well as efficient operational performance. In addition, it requires a large amount of integrated real-time process automation associated with high risks. Hence, UDW rigs require highly reliable broadband networks. Further, as the UDW market is expanding, there is a need for robust and remote communication services in new areas. Thus, satellite communication for UDW exploration is an emerging trend that is expected to propel the growth of the market. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the challenging environment of oil and gas rigs. Most of the oil and gas exploration and drilling works are carried out in remote places such as deserts, where the temperature shifts from -10 degrees Celsius to almost 50 degrees Celsius; offshore oil and gas drilling rigs, where wind, rain, and waves make for an incredibly hostile workplace; and deep-water oil and gas exploration, where the depth plays a hostile environment. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the increasing adoption of fiber optic connectivity. Most of the E&P companies are adopting fiber optics communication as an alternative to satellite communications. In addition, many companies with onshore rigs are adopting terrestrial fiber optics connections for backup networks during emergency situations. Recently, BP rolled out a 1,280-kilometer fiber network in the Gulf of Mexico. The key vendors dominating this market space are: - Harris CapRock Communications Inc. - Inmarsat plc. - KVH Industries Inc. - RigNet Inc. - Vizada Inc. Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - APT Satellite Company Ltd. - C-Com Satellite Systems Inc. - DTS Inc. - Hermes Datacommunications International Ltd. - Hughes Satellite Systems Corp. - ITC Global, Inc. - Orange Business Services - Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. - STM Group, Inc. - Telespazio SpA.

Global Maritime VSAT Market Report, 2016
M2 - Tue Jan 28, 11:36AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tr78ws/global_maritime) has announced the addition of the "Global Maritime VSAT Market Report, 2016" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in this market is the need to reduce operational cost. VSAT services help operators in the Shipping industry to reduce their operational costs. Previously, an L-band dial-up connection was the only technology available to provide broadband services to crew members. However, the main drawback of L-band systems is the high cost of data transfer. This resulted in high overall operational cost because vessel operators used high bandwidth applications such as ERP software to transfer large data files. In recent years, the expansion of terrestrial networks, cellular networks, and microwave and satellite coverage in several continents has increased significantly. Although maritime communication has improved over the years, it still lags behind the advanced communication technology used on land. The convergence of voice, video, and data to all-IP networks has simultaneously simplified the users' requirement. However, the users now know that it is possible to connect every device and data source on a ship to a single network, and they expect that solutions should be as simple as their home enterprise solutions. However, the IP revolution has also driven an explosion of new products and services. In recent years, the demand for broadband services in the Maritime industry is increasing rapidly due to the growing adoption of IP-based applications for a seamless connection with the land-based operations. In addition, commercial vessels require high-speed connections to run on-board business, maintain vessel management, and maintenance applications. Further, for retaining crew members, several vessel owners are providing on-board broadband internet connection and VoIP connectivity. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the presence of on-board technical issues. For instance, the interruption of VSAT services due to rain fade is one of the major issues faced by maritime VSAT vendors. Rain fade refers to the absorption of microwave radio frequency signals by rain drops, which causes a disruption of network connectivity. The key vendors dominating this market space are: - Comtech Telecommunications Corp. - Hughes Satellite Systems Corp. - STM Networks Inc. - ViaSat Inc. - VT iDirect Inc. - Harris CapRock Communications Inc. - Inmarsat Plc. - KVH Industries Inc. - MTN Satellite Communications Inc. - RigNet Inc. - Vizada Inc.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tr78ws/global_maritime) has announced the addition of the "Global Maritime VSAT Market Report, 2016" report to their offering. One of the main drivers in this market is the need to reduce operational cost. VSAT services help operators in the Shipping industry to reduce their operational costs. Previously, an L-band dial-up connection was the only technology available to provide broadband services to crew members. However, the main drawback of L-band systems is the high cost of data transfer. This resulted in high overall operational cost because vessel operators used high bandwidth applications such as ERP software to transfer large data files. In recent years, the expansion of terrestrial networks, cellular networks, and microwave and satellite coverage in several continents has increased significantly. Although maritime communication has improved over the years, it still lags behind the advanced communication technology used on land. The convergence of voice, video, and data to all-IP networks has simultaneously simplified the users' requirement. However, the users now know that it is possible to connect every device and data source on a ship to a single network, and they expect that solutions should be as simple as their home enterprise solutions. However, the IP revolution has also driven an explosion of new products and services. In recent years, the demand for broadband services in the Maritime industry is increasing rapidly due to the growing adoption of IP-based applications for a seamless connection with the land-based operations. In addition, commercial vessels require high-speed connections to run on-board business, maintain vessel management, and maintenance applications. Further, for retaining crew members, several vessel owners are providing on-board broadband internet connection and VoIP connectivity. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the presence of on-board technical issues. For instance, the interruption of VSAT services due to rain fade is one of the major issues faced by maritime VSAT vendors. Rain fade refers to the absorption of microwave radio frequency signals by rain drops, which causes a disruption of network connectivity. The key vendors dominating this market space are: - Comtech Telecommunications Corp. - Hughes Satellite Systems Corp. - STM Networks Inc. - ViaSat Inc. - VT iDirect Inc. - Harris CapRock Communications Inc. - Inmarsat Plc. - KVH Industries Inc. - MTN Satellite Communications Inc. - RigNet Inc. - Vizada Inc.
