The services will use Intelsat’s IS-701, IS-904 and IS-905 satellites and Telespazio’s Fucino teleport as well as Intelsat’s Riverside, Calif., teleport and fiber-optic cable interconnections. The capabilities will allow 16 oil and gas vessels in the Atlantic, the Pacific and the Indian Oceans to transmit voice and data traffic to Saipem’s operations center in Europe.
