BATS WirelessBroadband Antenna Tracking Systems (BATS) and Aviat Networks have partnered to market stabilised antenna tracking systems for floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels in Africa
The BATS systems, when coupled with Aviat Networks’ microwave radios, would deliver ultra high-capacity connectivity for both mobile and nomadic vehicles and vessels.
Brian Jakins, vice-president of sales and services of Aviat Networks, Africa, said, “Together with BATS we have built an integrated system that we believe offers the best solution for secure and highly reliable communications to moving platforms such as FPSOs. “We are delighted this partnership with BATS has already borne fruit and look forward to building on these successes.”
According to BATS, it will deliver a wealth of cutting-edge wireless communications and data opportunities to FPSO, FSO and drillship operators and will enable end-users access to faster, more adaptive networks for production, voice, video and crew comfort solutions. BATS’ antenna systems provide connect and track technology, allowing for the dynamic connection and continual movement of stabilised, high-throughput, point-to-point (PTP) microwave communications.
Phillip Cramer, V-P sales and marketing, BATS, added, “We are pleased to be working with Aviat Networks on delivering dynamic, high-capacity BATS systems to operators around the world.
“We are confident that BATS and Aviat Networks will be able to provide a flexible solution that meets the unique network needs of each customer. Our partnership is delivering a new choice for the energy market allowing organisations to enjoy the same flexibility, reliability, and security offshore as they do for their fixed microwave networks on land.”
