Profile

Drilling contractors, operators and onboard service companies require reliable communications capabilities while operating in some of the remotest areas of the world. Signalhorn's extensive experience applied to these complex requirements enables our offshore technology customers to use voice and data services just as they would if they were located at an onshore office. Signalhorn has more than 40 years of experience as a full service communications provider. Our hybrid, technology-agnostic, solution-centred network automatically seeks the lowest-cost service while providing real-time data sharing and communications for business-critical, day-to-day operations. Our solutions also enhance crew life during time at sea by delivering a wide choice of quality TV entertainment, as well as providing instant access to internet applications and a simple crew calling system. Additionally, crewmembers can easily stay connected with family and friends. Communications systems for the offshore industry Signalhorn's offshore technology communication solutions are based on a triple-play IP service that uses Ku-band VSAT as the least expensive satellite path, switching to Inmarsat and Iridium services only during periods of non-availability. The selected routing system either provides accessibility to all applications or to the most critical services, as predefined by the customer. This ensures that transmissions on every rig or vessel are maintained at all times through automatic beam switching and re-routing via the different communication paths available. We deliver communications in locations where our customers wouldn't imagine it possible to receive such services, including: Secure data networking Digital telephony Broadband internet Real-time video (CCTV surveillance) Satellite and internet connectivity for drilling rigs Signalhorn builds integrated end-to-end solutions incorporating a range of VSAT satellite, LAN and WAN components that meet the specific needs of our customers and provide the optimum transport medium for their important data.

As additional value-added service, we also provide basic internet connectivity and corporate phone systems as required.
