Offshore Communication Systems

Engineering connectivity for extreme environments

DEDICOM provides high-security communication for offshore energy via 500 km unrepeated fiber links, AES-256 encryption, and military-grade redundancy. By integrating DFOS fiber monitoring and a dual-technology approach of submarine cables with satellite backup, they ensure constant connectivity and infrastructure security in extreme maritime environments.

From safety automation to real-time surveillance, from initial design to 24/7 network operations, we provide the complete communication ecosystem that powers modern offshore facilities.

In essence, DEDICOM is a partner for powering offshore connectivity with solutions that are robust, secure, and future-ready, adapting to the evolving demands of the offshore energy sector.

 

Core Business and Technology

DEDICOM focuses on state-of-the-art and reliable offshore communication systems, leveraging two primary transport technologies to maintain mission-critical connectivity:

  • Submarine Fibre Optic Technologies: Delivering high-capacity, long-distance data transfer beneath the ocean, these systems provide the redundancy-protected backbone required for the world's most demanding maritime environments.
  • Long-Haul Optical Solutions: Unrepeated fiber optic links reaching distances of up to 500 km, with the capability to extend even further using repeated systems (ROPA, In-line amplifiers) while supporting high-bandwidth capacities of up to 400Gb per wavelength.
  • Satellite Back-up Systems: To ensure excellent uptime, DEDICOM integrates low-latency, high-capacity satellite systems that serve as a secondary failover, keeping critical infrastructure connected when primary links are unavailable.
     

Key Solutions and Support

DEDICOM provides high-availability data transport networks utilizing state-of-the-art MPLS-TP/IP based systems specifically engineered to support mission-critical offshore protocols and applications:

  • Safety and Automation Systems (SAS): Our robust MPLS-TP or IP backbone systems ensures the seamless integration of reliable safety protocols and automated processes essential for protecting assets and personnel.
  • IEC 61850 (MMS and GOOSE): We deliver the low-latency environment required for advanced communication standards, supporting high-speed GOOSE messaging and MMS for real-time protection and control.
  • Integrated Data Networks: Acting as the primary communications backbone, our systems facilitate secure data transfer and comprehensive surveillance, including CCTV and voice services, across vast offshore infrastructures.

Commitment to Innovation and Reliability

A core principle for DEDICOM is the design and delivering highly resilient, future-proof offshore communication systems through continuous innovation and a focus on operational reliability, this is achieved through:

  • Redundant Elements: We design all our systems with military-grade redundancy, implementing the duplication of critical components at every layer to proactively avoid any single points of failure and ensure continuous operation.
  • Cybersecurity: Our defense-in-depth strategy incorporates advanced Layer 1 & 2 AES-256 data encryption for all data and voice traffic, safeguarding against interception and ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of your critical data.
  • Comprehensive Management Tools: DEDICOM provides centralized operation and performance monitoring of the entire communication infrastructure through intuitive management systems, offering complete visibility and control to maximize uptime and operational efficiency.
