Enhance Your Exploration and Production Processes

When you need a temporary office with broadband connectivity to ensure smooth extraction operations, checks on remote installations and pipelines, and connectivity to the home office while exploring new fields and wells or constructing drilling platforms, UltiSat's solar-powwered VIPkit can provide voice, data, and IP services via BGAN.

The UltiSat VIPkit uses the power of Inmarsat’s global satellite network to enable communications, no matter the circumstances or locations. Designed for harsh environments and demanding travel, the kit’s durable, watertight roller case houses all components needed to communicate. The case meets TSA requirements as an airplane carry‐on, easily fitting in overhead bins and weighing just 37 pounds. The VIPkit can be removed from its case and instantly provides the entire range of communication needs. From Internet access and email to worldwide phone coverage and fax services, all voice, video, and data services are at your fingertips. Wherever traditional wireless and broadband networks either don’t exist or become disabled, VIPkit ensures that communications are instantly possible. Individuals and small teams worldwide have phone, email, and Internet access – even when there’s no power, phone service, or broadband coverage.
