Crest Subsea contracted Orange Business Services to improve communication infrastructure of its diving support vessels by developing and managing a customized VSAT marine communication system, Orange announced Jan. 28.
    The VSAT system will connect vessels to the Pacific Radiance network through antennas linked to satellites. The deployment of the solution will integrate the vessels into the corporate network and allow crews on Crest Subsea vessels to access voice, video and data services.
    “Crest Subsea particularly valued the Orange contribution in simplifying the complexity of the network infrastructure via a joint development of a technology and innovation roadmap to enhance workforce effectiveness,” Crest Subsea General Manager Bruce Saunders, said in a statement.
