Harris CapRock Awarded Fleetwide One
Order from Transocean
Harris CapRock Communications
will install its One system on
Transocean’s entire fleet as part of
a multi-year contract renewal for
complete managed communications
services. The contract provides
satellite communications services
and includes the industry’s most
intelligent communications service
on all current vessels, as well as
pending new builds.
“Harris CapRock is providing us with
a complete communications solution
founded on breakthrough technology that
delivers robust, always-on service
anywhere in the world,” said Steve
Fraser, IT director, Transocean. “They
offered us the flexibility to control
our costs and the ability to be more
agile in responding to the market.”
The managed end-to-end communications
solution includes teleport and satellite
services, backhaul, dedicated bandwidth
for crew internet, traffic optimization
and cyber security services. The upgrade
to Harris CapRock One will provide
improved system performance while
reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
The new solution will more than double
available bandwidth for the Transocean
fleet, while providing a single
worldwide bandwidth price. The pricing
model simplifies forecasting and
planning for the fleet situated in
locations such as the Gulf of Mexico,
the North Sea, Brazil, Asia Pacific,
Africa’s West Coast and United Arab
Emirates.
“We are delighted with Transocean’s
decision to upgrade to the Harris
CapRock One solution as part of their
contract renewal,” said Tracey Haslam,
president, Harris CapRock. “Harris
CapRock One will not only improve
reliability and lower costs, but provide
future-proof technology for Transocean’s
operations moving forward.”
