RigNet’s fast-track installation and highly differentiated end-to-end connectivity helped secure a global master supply agreement with a subsidiary of McDermott International. A premier, fully integrated provider of technology, engineering and construction solutions to the energy industry, RigNet provided McDermott with managed communication services and multiple Over-the-Top (OTT) solutions to ensure their fleet of vessels is equipped with the most advanced communication systems available. 

RigNet was able to leverage its network of global support to fast-track the implementation of the project and install McDermott’s entire global fleet to meet an aggressive mobilization timeline. RigNet installed and is providing fully-managed communications solutions that included a stabilized dual-band smart antenna that enables automatic switching between C-Band and Ku-Band networks.
