News Summary:
Tampnet recently secured a five-year framework agreement with BW Offshore on September 17, 2026, to standardize high-capacity connectivity across its FPSO fleet, building on existing services on three BW Offshore FPSOs. This initiative aims to enhance offshore teams' access to real-time data, cloud applications, and onshore expertise. Earlier, on July 14, 2026, the company underscored the foundational role of fibre backbones in modern offshore communication networks, noting their importance for core capacity and performance alongside LEO satellite and 5G. Previously, on June 23, 2026, Tampnet secured contracts from an international energy major to deliver advanced connectivity solutions for two deepwater development projects in Keathley Canyon in the US Gulf, leveraging its digital and engineering concept to enable remote collaboration and data-driven operations. This followed Tampnet's announcement on the same day of a significant expansion of its US Gulf network, adding 400 kilometres of subsea fibre and extending offshore 4G and 5G coverage across 10,000 square kilometres. This expansion supports new deepwater developments, including facilities operated by Beacon Offshore Energy and LLOG Exploration in the Keathley Canyon, which will serve as connectivity hubs for vessels, drilling rigs, and future infrastructure, strengthening the digital infrastructure for remote operations.
