A new voice and data communications system will be debuted by, Cohort owned company, SEA this week at Offshore Europe.
The system is designed for remote applications such as offshore ships and platforms.
SEA’s 4G Man-Portable Mobile Data Node (MDN4G), combined with the L3 TRL Iguana network security device, is a ruggedized Long Term Evolution (LTE) small cell “network-in-a-box” that provides the connectivity needed to operate smart phone or tablet based solutions where regular networks are unavailable or unreliable.
If used with suitable ATEX zoned handsets, the system can be used on all offshore installations and will work in any location where there is a requirement for a secure network for voice, video, image or data sharing.
Steve Hill, managing director of SEA, said: “MDN4G is already attracting considerable interest from sectors such as the emergency services and the military. It is also ideally suited to the offshore sector where users need high data rate communications with assured connectivity.”
