Tampnet与Island Drilling AS签订了一份为期五年的合同，为恶劣环境半潜式钻井平台“Island Innovator”提供完整的下一代通信堆栈。该服务包括来自Starlink和OneWeb的低地球轨道(LEO)卫星回程，并与Tampnet北海LTE和T-FAST（多载波、低占用空间、高速天线）微波/光纤主干网集成。

将其与自动将每个数据包路由到最佳路径的 AI 驱动编排层相结合，完全托管的私有 4G/5G 网络可在整个钻机上实现无缝移动性和数字化。

“连接良好的钻机不再是可有可无的；它是远程操作和数据驱动决策的支柱，”Tampnet 首席商务官 Trygve Hagevik 表示。“通过将 LEO、LTE 和 LOS/光纤与实时 AI 流量控制和专用网络相结合，我们为 Island Drilling 提供了所需的性能和弹性，以及扩展预测性维护、数字孪生和自主检查等高级用例的自由。”

Island Drilling AS 首席执行官 Roger Simmons 补充道：“Island Innovator 的作业环境堪称全球最严酷。Tampnet 的多层网络和私有 5G 功能将使我们的工作人员能够更智能、更安全地工作，同时让我们的钻井平台迈向数字化未来。”

Tampnet secured a five-year contract with Island Drilling AS to supply a complete, next-generation communications stack for the harsh-environment semisubmersible Island Innovator. The service includes low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite back-haul from Starlink and OneWeb, integrated with the Tampnet North Sea LTE and T-FAST (Multiple Carrier, Low Footprint, High Speed Antenna) microwave/fibre backbone.

Combining this with an AI-driven orchestration layer that automatically routes each packet over the optimal path, the fully managed private 4G/5G network delivers seamless mobility and digitalization across the entire rig.

“A well-connected rig is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s the backbone for remote operations and data-driven decision-making,” said Trygve Hagevik, CCO at Tampnet. “By blending LEO, LTE and LOS/fibre with real-time AI traffic steering and Private Network, we’re giving Island Drilling the performance and resilience they need – plus the freedom to scale advanced use cases such as predictive maintenance, digital twins and autonomous inspections”.

Roger Simmons, CEO, Island Drilling AS, added, “The Island Innovator operates in some of the world’s toughest conditions. Tampnet’s multi-layer network and private 5G capability will let our crews work smarter and safer while enabling our rig for the digital future”.
