A crew out of reach
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
A drilling rig works a long way from town. If something goes wrong, the crew needs to reach help, and on many sites a mobile phone shows no service at all.
What a consultant changes
Telecom Agency looks beyond the usual carriers to satellite messaging and connectivity that work anywhere, and prices them against each other. Safety is the reason. The benefit of a consultant is knowing those services exist and which ones are worth the money.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for well drilling
- The advice
- Beyond mobile phones, an advisor compares satellite messaging and satellite internet for crew safety and reporting where no network exists.
- The price
- Satellite services differ greatly in equipment and monthly cost. The advisor sets them out by what each allows you to do, from an emergency message to a video call.
- The service
- Devices are activated before a remote job and can be paused between jobs where the provider allows it.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
