An affiliate of Nabors Industries has selected Speedcast International to provide new IT communications equipment and cloud-based connectivity services to 40 land-based sites in Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina. Speedcast will leverage satellite Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSAT) connectivity to deliver communications to the remote land-based sites throughout South America.

The cloud-based service will be supported by Speedcast’s global customer service centers, with local field engineers in the region. Speedcast is currently supporting Nabors for similar networks both onshore and offshore in multiple locations around the world.

“Speedcast has operated in South America for many years with a solid local presence including multiple offices, a teleport and full field support team, serving major energy operators in a region rich with opportunity,” said Speedcast’s EVP of Energy, Keith Johnson.
