Uniting Oil and Gas Players by Satellite

Q: How are you bringing satellite technology closer to companies in the oil and gas industry?

A: The oil and gas industry elsewhere in the world is used to satellite technology. For instance, most gas stations in the US are controlled by a satellite network that oversees the behavior and location of transport fleets, measuring important aspects such as the amount of gasoline they are using. Mexico still has many gaps, such as poor terrestrial services, as well as complex regulations that need to be addressed. We see an opportunity in that field. We have worked for almost every demographic, including SMEs and PEMEX.

Q: How have your technological introductions facilitated your clients’ operations?

A: We are offering services on a new frequency under which we can use a new type of technology to provide higher throughputs at lower costs, giving our clients the chance to accomplish more with less money. We can now provide services at a 10th of the previous cost. The only service where prices have not dropped significantly is equipment construction, but we are working on new equipment that our clients in the oil and gas and power generation industries will be able to install in their facilities.

Q: What steps have you taken to incorporate Ka and Ku bands technologies into your services?

A: Most of our services are offered in Ka band, which is good for faster speeds and lower costs but it is more susceptible to weather, such as heavy rain. We are installing both Ku and Ka band antennas as a complimentary service through which clients can have the Ku band backup and work with Ka band.
