SATCOM SOLUTION

Delivering reliable full-access remote drillsite broadcast services is a complex task, requiring precise systems engineering and the careful integration of satellite communication assets both in orbit and on the ground.

Drillsite works with satellite fleet operators around the world to provide global satellite coverage. Drillsite's RDBS™ Units generally use geosynchronous (GEO) satellites that orbit the earth at approximately 22,500 miles over a fixed position along the equator. These satellites, which come in a variety of configurations, provide either regional coverage of a specific part of the world (for instance North America) or partial global coverage across a longitudinal range that may comprise as much as a third of the surface of the earth. This coverage area is generally referred to as the satellite's "foot print." To provide contiguous global coverage, Drillsite's Network Operations Center (NOC) coordinates multiple satellite footprints into a service coverage area. At any given time Drillsite employs satellites around the globe to provide worldwide services.

Drillsite’s Network Operation Center and Teleport Station Operator is co-located in state-of-the-art facilities and manned 24/7 by trained hub engineers/technicians. The historical hub availability is greater than 99.998%.

Drillsite’s network management and operations include:

Highly scalable hub operations - multiple hubs and scalable transponder capacity

“Central Office” grade operations - 24 x 7 on-site operations staff and robust facility design and implementation process

Centralized Network Management Center - Around-the-clock management and real-time comprehensive visibility into remote systems

Dedicated program management - Single point of contact that manages and coordinates all resources throughout the life of each broadcast project
