Offshore Private 5G Networks

Full wireless coverage enabling digital transformation  

Tampnet’s private 5G solution powers digitalization across the entire offshore installation, seamlessly connecting devices, robots and sensors while overcoming the challenges of steel environments. 

With the growing adoption of sea to shore collaboration solutions, robotics and sensors on platforms, rigs, offshore vessels, and wind farms, companies can monitor and manage operations remotely – reducing costs and enhancing safety. Along with AI, realizing these benefits requires real-time processing and transfer of large data volumes with minimal latency and uncompromised quality.

Unlocking opportunities

With Tampnet’s private 5G, offshore users gain access to a secure, reliable, and comprehensive cellular connectivity solution, unlocking opportunities to realize their digital ambitions, from AI, Connected Workers and sensors to Robotics and Mission-Critical Services (MCX). 
Private, hybrid and public network solutions

As a trusted partner to leading industry players, Tampnet brings expertise from building and operating the world’s largest offshore fiber network. Our private 5G solution provides full wireless connectivity across assets, integrating with our robust connectivity mix and 24/7 network operation centre for optimal performance. 

This fully managed hybrid private network solution, equipped with Edge computer capabilities, integrates into existing Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) to achieve maximum coverage. The network architecture supports hybrid private/public traffic segregation, enabling the private network to operate autonomously, independent of shore-based systems. 

As a managed service, life cycle management is provided by Tampnet to ensure the security and reliability of the system. 

Recognizing the criticality within our customer domain, all our infrastructure is built with high availability designs to support not only business critical but also mission critical applications and use cases. 

QPP (Quality, Prioritation and Pre-emption) is supported to differentiate the criticality of the use cases and fully utilize the available capacity within the network. 

Enabling fewer offshore days
  • Private 5G networks are implemented with the goal of ensuring uptime and reducing the number of offshore days 

  • It allows the base crew to call on experts from onshore or gain better situational awareness when unexpected events occur

  • Having fewer people offshore leads to increased safety and reduced risk of injury 

Key benefits of private 5G from Tampnet
  • Capability for full segregation and prioritization of traffic classes, which is essential for handling sensitive operational data or using these networks for controlling mission-critical production equipment

  • Data can be processed, stored, and made available on-site to a greater extent.

  • Far more time- and cost-efficient to install compared to wired and wireless WiFi networks

  • Seamless handover between access/antenna points, ensuring uninterrupted data sessions
