Reliable Connectivity for Offshore Energy Operations

Reading Time: 8 minutes

A surge in oil prices and rising energy demand has led to increased investments in offshore drilling. These “floating cities” are expensive to build with ocean-based rigs accommodating on-site employee housing, gyms, cafeterias, and infrastructure to transport oil to shore. But once offshore drill sites are up and running efficiently, they can …
