BATS Wireless Announces Solution-Driven Technology to Enhance Broadband FPSO Communications

INDIANAPOLIS, June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BATS Wireless (BATS), the world's leading innovator of wireless stabilization, optimization, and tracking systems today announced development of enhanced technology that focuses on solving the connectivity problems that frequently plague the energy market utilizing deep and ultra-deepwater FPSO, FSO and drillships. BATS provides cutting-edge systems that facilitate critical production communications and data capabilities between the assets and key support vessels and structures typically used in offshore deployments.

BATS' industry-leading, proprietary stabilized microwave systems, which can be integrated with almost any radio, are used to form a high-speed, high-capacity network that can offer up to multi-gigabit connectivity speeds. The ruggedized, marine-grade BATS DVM systems deliver a wealth of cutting-edge wireless communications and data opportunities to FPSO operators, enabling end users access to faster, more adaptive communications networks – already providing major energy producers for both enhanced production capabilities and increased crew comfort.

The systems feature BATS' innovative connect and track technology, allowing for the dynamic connection and continual movement of high-throughput point-to-point (PTP). BATS systems provide links that can automatically adjust for movement, either due to environmental or requirement changes; and provide organizations a stable and secure, high-bandwidth, private FPSO communications and data pipeline either back onshore, with vessels and platforms in-field, or both; without the high recurring costs typically associated with competing satellite solutions.

"We at BATS are committed to providing purpose-built, reliable, high-speed network solutions that will deliver the critical communications and data FPSO operators need during offshore operations," says Phillip Cramer, V.P. Sales & Marketing, BATS Wireless. "Offshore operators working with BATS are seeing a major shift in the world of high-bandwidth wireless communications everyday– the era of using satellite links to perform simple tasks like conference calls between vessels is over."
