High speed offshore Internet connection is no longer a luxury – it’s a must-have. Your fleet depends on it to correspond with headquarters, to run cloud-based systems, to keep the crew in the loop and happy – and so much more. Tampnet provides 4G/5G LTE services for anything from oil tankers to fish farms, enabling instant distribution of critical data, and taking video conferencing to a new level. Compared to traditional satellite communication, this network has virtually no delay.
For drilling rigs operating in remote offshore fields, reliable connectivity is essential for real-time data processing, remote monitoring, safety and crew welfare. Our communication services play a critical role in modernising offshore drilling, supporting the digital transformation on site.
Tailored to demanding environments, we provide high-speed offshore communication solutions for drilling rigs. Utilising our extensive network infrastructure, completed by LEO satellite connectivity, Tampnet delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity to both fixed and mobile drilling rigs.
The Connected Rig solution leverages Tampnet's comprehensive connectivity mix, including backhaul solutions via Tampnet's robust offshore 4G/5G network and subsea fibre infrastructure, with incorporation of LEO satellite services through Starlink, and OneWeb. Traffic orchestration is seamlessly managed through Versa SD-WAN, ensuring critical data is prioritised and other needs are balanced. The customer is able to select from the menu of services, from basic connectivity to the full suite of managed network and value added services.

Our maritime mobile network spans across the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America), serving both Fixed and Mobile facilities and vessels.
Where structures are too dense to achieve sufficient signal penetration, we can install dedicated antennas to establish 100 percent coverage and enable indoor use of tablets, smartphones, wearables, sensors and machine to machine communication.
Our private network solutions ensure that your data remains secure and accessible only to the approved users.
Our CEL-FI packages are available in cost-effective kits to suit various vessel types and coverage needs. Furthermore, the kits are easy to install while the vessel is mobilised.
We are proud to partner with Streamsolution AS to support our customers in optimising their offshore operations.
Their remote collaboration / augmented reality kit was designed and manufactured to meet the exacting standards required for safe and efficient use in the offshore oil and gas industry.
When properly integrated into the working processes, augmented reality technology can result in fewer quality non-conformities and mitigate safety risks and the occurrence of incidents. It can allow companies to progress activity without having to recruit new personnel from an increasingly scarce competency pool. In addition, these systems can reduce the need to make expensive and polluting journeys to offshore installations. It is time to bring the future to the Oil and Gas Industry.
Engaged across multiple offshore facilities in the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America), the team at Streamsolution leverages decades of offshore operational experience to provide a complete suite of services. Download reference cases examples below:
Tampnet has partnered with leading LEO and MEO satellite providers, providing the most advanced and appropriate satellite connectivity for our clients.
Our partnerships include Starlink, SES and Eutelsat OneWeb.
LEO satellites (Low Earth Orbiting) are satellites orbiting closest to our atmosphere. Due to the shorter distance between land and the satellite, these offer the lowest latency satellite connectivity, ideal for global broadband networks and environmental monitoring.
MEO satellites (Medium Earth Orbiting) are satellites positioned at altitudes between 2000 and 35,786 km, just below geostationary orbit. Due to higher altitude than LEO satellites, the latency is slightly higher but compensate by offering higher throughput and less handover to other satellites.
Our network management system with SD-WAN ensures critical data is always prioritised across our technologies, while balancing latency and bandwidth requirements for operational and general data communications.

With over 20 years of experience in offshore telecommunications, Tampnet extends offshore connectivity to provide reliable and secure wireless connectivity solutions to enable digital transformation.
Telecom operators can become a Tampnet roaming partner and enable their customers to use our offshore network for both Data & Voice services.
Although Tampnet cannot enforce price levels, we work consistently with our Roaming Partners to provide feedback on market sentiment and encourage best practices and improved pricing tiers for customers roaming on our network.
In the event your home operator isn’t a roaming partner with Tampnet, we have partnered with BetterRoaming and Gigsky, so that you can set up prepaid bundles offshore roaming. We recommend you download the eSim app, follow the installation steps and select your preferred plan before you head offshore.
Anyone with a mobile subscription with one of our roaming partners can use their device offshore.
Other telecom operators are welcome to talk to us to enable coverage for all of their subscribers in the offshore domain in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).
We partnered with global data provider BetterRoaming to bring you commitment-free, individual data plans for the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) and the North Sea.
