Offshore. Off Grid.
On the Outernet.
Modern offshore production platforms are data driven and increasingly automated. The Outernet was built for exactly these conditions. Pole-to-pole coverage, no dependence on ground stations, and a gateway-less architecture that keeps your operational data off the public internet.
Energy operations generate enormous volumes of real-time data — seismic readings, equipment telemetry, weather feeds, safety systems, crew communications. The challenge isn’t collecting that data. It’s moving it reliably from where it’s generated to where it’s needed, in real time.
Most connectivity solutions treat remote energy assets as an edge case. The Outernet treats them as the use case. Our gateway-less LEO network delivers secure, high-capacity data transport without the coverage gaps that plague older architectures.
Environments Where Connectivity is Most Critical
Offshore operational data and crew communications depend on a network that doesn’t go down. The Outernet enables the same connectivity performance that your onshore teams expect, regardless of geography, on a private network.
The consequences of connectivity failure are too serious to settle for a network that isn’t designed for these conditions. The Outernet is.
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 our 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.
