Challenges – Line of Sight
13
• Brazilian Oil fields are far from shore (100 – 300 km)
• Needs high altitude mountain to reach oil-field
But it’s not…
Microwave links in licensed bands needs “Line of Sight”
Frequency bands from 4 GHz to 18 GHz
• A range of around 50 km rig to rig, and 100 -170 km onshore (mountain) to offshore

When things moves
• Floating installations moves with waves even if anchored
• FPSOs based on a vessel hull rotate around the anchoring
• Microwave antennas has a narrow beam width, causing loss of signal
when the antenna points off target
Antenna beam without PointLink
Antenna beam with PointLink
• Target aiming based on highly accurate GPS compass/Gyro information

• ATEX certifications
(EU 94/9/EC directive - Appareils destinés à être utilisés en ATmosphères EXplosives )
(operate in an environment with an explosive atmosphere)
Zones
The zone defines the probability of hazardous material being present in an ignitable
concentration in the surrounding atmosphere
Zone 0 Area in which an explosive gas-air mixture is continuously present or present for long periods.
Zone 1 Combustible or conductive dusts are present. Area in which an explosive gas-air mixture is likely to occur for short periods in normal operation.
Zone 2 Area in which an explosive gas-air mixture is not likely to occur, and if it occurs it will only exist for a very short time due to an abnormal condition.

• Troposcatter systems is a viable solution for the hard to reach areas
• Traditionally used for ultra long links with huge fixed antennas
• Under study for use for offshore links 100 – 200 km
• High cost and complexity (TX power 100W to 1kW)
