[Via Satellite 03-30-2016] Oceaneering International has tapped Harris CapRock for satellite connectivity to remotely pilot and automatically control its Nexxus Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Harris CapRock is providing satellite bandwidth and service to operate the ROV, which enables the pilot to execute assignments ranging from simple video monitoring to highly complex vessel inspection tasks. The satellite link enables Oceaneering to pilot the ROV from offshore, from another vessel, or from an onshore command center.
