WHY BUILD OUR CELLULAR

NETWORK AROUND AN EXPENSIVE

SATELLITE

BACKHAUL SYSTEM?

BECAUSE FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.

We never cut corners operating the Gulf's premier cellular network. Because we know how vital your offshore communications are.

That's why we won't settle for anything less than our rock-solid-reliable C-band satellite backhaul system. It's delivered 99.9775% gateway availability throughout every hurricane, major storm and sun outage in the Gulf over the last 18 years.

That's also why we engineer every element of our infrastructure for reliability with climate-control systems, 72-hour backup battery plants and real-time monitoring of our offshore facilities.

We go to such extremes because we live and breathe reliability. It's in our blood and under our fingernails. To learn how our unfailing commitment ensures your unfailing connectivity contact us at [email protected] or I-8OO-PETROCOM
