IEC Telecom and partners to
present connectivity solutions for
energy sector at ADIPEC 2019
/////////////////////////////
A global provider of
managed network
communication solutions,
IEC Telecom Group, along
with its partners, will
showcase their latest
connectivity solutions
at this year’s Abu Dhabi
International Petroleum
Exhibition and Conference
to meet the needs of the
oil and gas industry.
D
igitalisation in the oil and gas
sector is a topic of great interest to
the industry, with experts beginning
to acknowledge the immense benefits it
can bring.
Energy companies are rapidly adopting
digitalisation to stay sustainable and
competitive by reducing their production
and exploration costs.
Oil and gas companies in the Middle East
are also increasing their investments in
Digital Transformation to scale up their
output. According to BP Energy Outlook
2019, the Middle East remains the largest
oil producing region and the second largest
gas producer, with 36% of global oil and
20% of gas output.
Nabil Ben Soussia, Vice President Maritime,
IEC Telecom Group, said: “Studies indicate
that between now and 2025, Digital
Transformation in the oil and gas industry
could unlock approximately US$1.6 trillion
of value for the industry, its customers and
wider society.

In addition, the IEC Telecom stand
will feature v85NX, the latest model in
Intellian’s easy to install, low-lifecycle cost
NX Series of VSAT antennas. Featuring Ka-
and Ku-band compatibility, all NX Series
antennas are future-proof and ready for
operation on planned satellite networks
operating from Middle Earth Orbit (MEO)
and Low Earth Orbit (LEO), while still
providing unmatched performance on
Geostationary Orbit satellites.
Nabil Ben Soussia, Vice President Maritime,
IEC Telecom Group
“Digitalisation has the potential to generate
around US$1 trillion for oil and gas
businesses as well as create benefits worth
approximately US$640 billion for the wider
society. The ability to facilitate improved
crew communications, online access and
seamless operational performance is driving
demand for new solutions, accelerating a
new era of connectivity.”
In this backdrop and to meet changing
customer needs, IEC Telecom Group will
display its latest solution OneGate Energy,
designed as a land variation of its unique
solution OneGate, presented earlier this year
to maritime (OneGate Marine) and offshore
(OneGate Offshore) markets.
OneGate keeps remote units connected,
providing high quality data for daily
operations and staff welfare. It provides
access to a virtual platform that hosts a wide
range of critical applications. This enables
the technical team to maintain, update and
upgrade onsite infrastructure remotely, saving
time and money on logistics. OneGate also
separates the corporate environment from
the staff network. Such segregation ensures
that e-operations and classified data remain
safe eliminating cyberthreats.
At the expo, which runs from November 11
to 14, IEC Telecom also joins forces with its
strategic partner Thuraya to showcase the
bespoke Thuraya VSAT+ service.
Combining the reach of the Ku-band
with the flexibility of the L-Band, Thuraya
VSAT+ delivers high throughput services for
bandwidth-hungry applications, effectively
speeding up the digitalisation of offshore
platforms. It caters to all vessel types and
offshore budget requirements.
Together with its strategic satellite
broadband partner Yahclick, IEC Telecom
will also demonstrate a robust IEC Welfare
Solution, specifically designed to provide
on-demand data access for team members
and third-party contractors at onshore
and offshore oil and gas facilities, as well
as at remote sites across other industries
such as the construction one for instance.
Powered by Yahclick satellite broadband,
IEC Welfare offers uninterrupted and cost-
effective connectivity thanks to YahClick’s
use of the efficiencies provided by High
Throughput Satellite (HTS) technologies
over the Ka-Band.
