This Contract Adds to Four FPSOs That Petrobras Awarded to RigNet Last Year and Represents RigNet’s Ongoing Expansion in Its FPSO Deployment Portfolio

After winning a public tender with Petrobras, RigNet, a leading provider of intelligent and ultra-secure network solutions, announced today, November 5, that it has signed a multi-year contract to add managed communication services using O3B VSAT technology to six of the state-owned company’s FPSOs. Refinaria Repar in Paraná Highlights the Petrobras Privatization Package.

Along with four FPSOs that Petrobras awarded to RigNet last year, this new contract represents RigNet’s ongoing expansion in its FPSO deployment portfolio to a total of seventeen awarded solely in Brazil.

Today, RigNet is the only service provider in Brazil to offer O3B connectivity through its Managed Communication Service.

RigNet’s global expansion in the FPSO market also includes a multi-year agreement granted in October to provide Managed Communication Services and deploy RigNet’s Crew Welfare application suite on three FPSOs in Thailand.

RigNet’s high-performance O3B connectivity provides its clients with the highest capacity, the lowest latency, and the most flexible satellite-based data communication for critical remote connectivity.

With RigNet’s Managed Communications service, operators benefit from a secure and intelligent network solution to support critical data and communication needs for their remote locations.

“We are very pleased with our ongoing growth in the energy market production sector”, said Steven Pickett, CEO and President of RigNet. “We are focused on providing the broadest range of communication solutions, including O3B technology, to meet the unique needs of the energy value chain in Brazil and around the world”, concludes Pickett.
