It is said that necessity is the mother of all invention. This was certainly the case when Ecoband Limited<\/a> was approached by Hans and Co. Oil and Gas Company.<\/a> An oilfield Service contractor employed by GNPC to execute the decommissioning of the Saltpond oil field at Offshore Saltpond in the Central Region of Ghana.<\/span><\/p>

The Decommissioning works involve the safe plugging of the wells from which the oil was drawn as well as the dismantling and disposal of the topside production platform and equipment used during the oil production. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Ecoband<\/a> was tasked to design a cost-effective and robust voice & data communication system. The goal of this system is to allow 80 to 100 staff members working on the Jackup Rig to have constant communication with the shore base by allowing them to place voice calls and internet access.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0The project had some key objectives before final design and implementation. Some key objects for the design are.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rapid turnaround from design to implementation.<\/span><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minimal routine maintenance and support, with the ability to support remotely.<\/span><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Meet and exceed traditional voice and data solutions for Oil platforms.<\/span><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Deploy at a fraction of the cost of traditional maritime voice solutions.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Including traditional VSAT phones as well as traditional maritime VSAT solutions, the options are many.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0Ecoband<\/a> turned to local and international expertise and longtime partners, neXat<\/a>\u00a0 describes itself as a pioneering organization working to remove barriers in the satellite connectivity marketplace by providing affordable and dependable IP access.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0Ecoband<\/a> also partnered with seasoned voice solution providers, Delaphone Ghana<\/a>.

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Elegant in its simplicity, the delivered solution utilizes neXat\u2019s unlimited vouchers for Ka Services on YahSat AY3. This service runs on time-based vouchers for up to 90 days, freeing Hans and Co. from exorbitant and lengthy contracts. With unlimited, uncapped volumes and Max Speed working as a portion of network congestion, Quality of service for voice calls and other activities simply work.<\/span><\/p>

Given that the platform is located several miles off the coast of Ghana, it is essential that the VSAT equipment be reliable, durable, and battle-tested. Therefore, the\u00a0Ka-band Hughes modem HT2000 with a 74-cm dish plus 1W BUC made for a sustainable and easy-to-install setup on the platform. Terminated with a Mikrotik router, the system was easy to integrate with Delaphones<\/a> Ghana\u2019s, telephony service.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Delaphone<\/a> provided its standard IP-PBX service, which includes a phone line from any of its partnered telcos (MTN, Airtel, Tigo, and Vodafone). The service requires approximately 250 KB to comfortably accommodate two concurrent calls. Plugged into the switch, the service comes with a handset, making it simple and easy to use.<\/span> Additional features of the voice service include:<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Call Conferencing<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
