Introducing a Modular Seafloor Communications Network
A pre-engineered, expandable system that can be deployed (and redeployed) anywhere in water depths of up to 3,000 meters.
The Offshore Communications Backbone (OCB)
CSnet's Offshore Communications Backbone (OCB) consists of a network of power and fiber optic cables and sensor ports connected to a surface communications buoy. The OceanNET™ buoy, was designed and built by Maritime Communications Services MCS, a subsidiary of Harris Corporation and serves as the command control and data backhaul for the OCB.
An innovative data collection tool for
- Ocean Observation Initiatives
- Offshore Energy Enterprises
- Monitoring and Protection of Infrastrucure
- Offshore Security
Cost Effective
The OCB represents a proven network module that has been designed, constructed and tested, eliminating upstart time and cost. Each OCB module is expandable and so can be configured to accomodate large or small applications at a predictable cost. Networks that will ultimately be cabled to shore may be deployed and operated via the OceanNET™ satellite telemetry system while cable routes are still being negotiated.
Benefits of OCB
Expandable, Adaptable, Portable
- Each OCB or networked array of OCBs can be deployed to service multiple clients
....or dedicated to a specific project.
- Once the mission(s) are completed, the offshore communications backbone can be moved to a new location. The OCB is particularly suited to remote areas of areas located far offshore.
- Suited both for long-term and short-term projects
Typical Projects Served by the Offshore Communications Backbone
- Oil & gas exploration and site assessments
- Equipment, pipeline, reservoir monitoring activities
- Scientific ocean observing systems
- Tsunami and seismic warning systems
- Pipeline and infrastructure security monitoring
Finally, an End-to-End Service Provider
CSnet and it's partners CSA Internationa, Inc. (CSA), Ocean Specialists, Inc. (OSI) and Maritime Communication Services, Inc. (MCS) offer and end-to-end solution, providing system and design and construction, site survey and selection, permitting, enviromental impact assessment, installation as well as ongoing operation and maintenance services.
