C-COM Satellite Systems will supply iNetVu auto-deploy antenna systems to an oilfield service company for its oil and gas exploration in Russia.
The company did not share the size of the deal. C-COM received the order from its largest Russian reseller, AltegroSky, based near Moscow.
This multinational oilfield services company is one of the largest C-COM iNetVu users with over 700 antenna systems deployed worldwide. Many of these installations are located in the most difficult to access parts of the world, such as Siberia, Western Australia and Northern Canada.
AltegroSky has been supplying this multinational company with C-COM iNetVu auto-deploy antennas since 2008. They will be deployed over the Russian Yamal 200 and Yamal 402 satellites.
In addition to delivering iNetVu products to the oil & gas environment, AltegroSky provides satellite connectivity, service center facilities and technical support. Due to the high reliability and ease of field repair of the C-COM antennas, field service is managed by the local employees of the oilfield service company.
Ruslan Akchulpanov, commercial director, AltegroSky, said: “We have been successful in integrating the iNetVu mobile auto-deploying satellite antenna systems to a wide range of additional services offered to Russian costumers. This is one of the reasons why AltegroSky is the largest commercial VSAT operator in Russia.”
