"Offshore, everything is critical."
That's how Elie Hanna frames the reality for operators navigating some of the world's most complex and high-stakes environments. In a recent interview with Pro Insights, Hanna shares how private 5G is no longer a future aspiration - it's an operational advantage being deployed today across rigs, vessels and platforms in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) and beyond.
"It often starts small," says Hanna. "Replacing pen and paper with connected tablet. Then comes video surveillance, predictive maintenance and mission-critical push-to-talk. Before long, a single deployment scales across an entire rig fleet - or a full platform portfolio."
These are not pilot projects. With over 50 dedicated private networks already live, Tampnet's as-a-service model is helping industry leaders reduce costs, enhance safety and transition toward fully autonomous offshore operations.
Key enablers include:
The result is a private network solution purpose-built for offshore realities and capable of supporting the next wave of digital transformation.
"Our customers want fewer people offshore, and more certainty in how they run operations," Hanna explains. "Private 5G helps them get there."
