2. RAS-Extend
Marine
With the launch of the
RAS-Extend Marine,
Redline put its latest
innovation to the test
out in the Indian Ocean
with a valued customer.
The Indian Ocean
contains an estimated
40% of the world’s offshore oil production, but being the
warmest ocean, it is impacted by high winds and severe
monsoon climate.
The goal was to demonstrate that terrestrial wireless
from Redline could be a higher performing and a more cost
effective communications alternative to satellite for the
many offshore Oil & Gas applications in one of the world’s
richest and most turbulent oceans. The test needed to
achieve:
❏❏ Long range
❏❏ Connection to vessels in motion
❏❏ Reliability in transmitting over challenging water conditions
Text, voice and video communications were all put through
rigorous testing and the results surpassed initial
expectations by nine times. For real-time applications and
video, the RAS-Extend Marine also proved to perform with
the lowest latency within the industry (6 ms @ 50 km
compared to 600 – 1500 ms with satellite).
The test outperformed all expectations and proved to be
a solution that would not only perform reliably in rugged
climate conditions but also have the range and bandwidth
to support the many business and worker off-hour
applications required to make the offshore Oil & Gas
operations a cost efficient and effective business unit.
