The oil & gas industry demands efficient and
reliable high-throughput connectivity for
linking headquarters IT systems, technical
experts, pipeline facilities, and infield and
offshore drilling platforms to each other. As
terrestrial infrastructure for communication
purposes is often lacking in the remote and
harsh environments identified with this industry,
service providers are increasingly depending
on alternative effective communication
solutions.
STMs SatLink family of VSATs and Hubs are
ideal for withstanding harsh offshore
environments and remote areas anywhere
around the globe. With high-availability and
throughput and 24 X 7 customer support, our
SatLink system provides secure IP networking
necessary for the voice, data, corporate
communication, and large file transfer needsof the offshore industry. With mobile,
transportable, and stationary options, the
SatLink system can support various conditions
for connecting support vessels, submergible
vessels, barge vessels, oil rigs and offshore
platforms, and inland operations under the
same core network.
Engineered to support a variety of services,
our SatLink systems have been implemented
for:
Oilfield communication services
SCADA and other low data rate
applications
Gas pipeline and solar and wind farm
video surveillance
Internet broadband, VoIP, and hotspot
services for corporate communications
With its superior design, versatility, and
efficiency, our SatLink systems have been

selected to meet the communication demands of major companies and are in place for day-to-
day oil & gas operations as well as emergency response and disaster recovery instances.
Applications & Features
Secure, Reliable Corporate
Communications
With an increasing need to coordinate
assets around the world, it is critical forservice providers to ensure consistent,
secure services for oil & gas corporate
communications infield, offshore, and
onboard. STMs SatLink products haveadvanced security features built-in and
support AES-256 encryption to safeguard
VoIP and data transfers. In providing
uncompromising link availability, STM
also offers dedicated backup links that
are automatically enabled if the primary
VSAT (or other link) is compromised.
SatLink products are compatible with
standard oil & gas communications
equipment and IP protocols, so STM's
solution can be easily integrated into
existing IT infrastructure and applications
at the remote and central sites.
Our SatLink networks also employsuper ior modulat ion and QoS
technology to prioritize different types of
data and maximize bandwidthutilization. This results in cost-effective
networks that allow the simultaneous useof a variety of applications, such as
voice, video, and data transfer without
hindering the satellite link or interrupting
service. Our SatLink line is also
engineered with advanced features toextend MPLS (Multi-Protocol Switching)
networks and ensure a reliable VPN
(Virtual Private Network).

High-Throughput Bulk File Transfer
In explorat ion and production
environments large amounts of data is
collected that must to be transmitted to acentral data processing site for assessment.
Huge files need to arrive quickly, error free,
and with no lost packets or truncation.
STM's SatLink networks support accelerated
TCP/IP file transfers at over 10 Mbps from
remote sites, with aggregate inbound
transfer capacity at over 20 Mbps from a
single VSAT. SatLink networks are ideal for
these bulk file transfers since bandwidth is
dynamically assigned where needed, with advanced bandwidth controls such that priority sites
or files are never blocked or delayed, and bandwidth is not wasted.
Meeting Offshore Maritime Mobile Requirements
A robust oil & gas network requires connecting to all types of remote sites, vessels and assets. This
includes not only fixed platforms, but also mobile drilling units, floating production platforms,
various type of supply and crew ships, and even unmanned units.
As many mobile sites require the use of advanced stabilized antenna systems, SatLink supports
antenna control protocols and is compatible with leading antenna manufacturers. Building on
close relationships with antenna providers, STM has deployed systems for thousands of ocean-
going vessels, including offshore support, submergible, and barge vessels, worldwide.

SatLink VSATs also support GPS interfaces and
other standard maritime applications for
concurrent delivery of high-speed data, hotspot
services, and VoIP and video services, both
streaming and interactive (i.e., voice or video
conferencing). The SatLink system allows for
service flexibility, as well as the ability to upgrade
or downgrade contracts as required to meet
various vessel needs.
Crew Welfare
Ensuring high crew morale by providing more
comfort away from home is essential for the
demanding oil & gas environments, which are
often in remote locations disconnected from the
rest of the world. With STM's IP-based VSATs,
offshore workers and crewmembers can stay in
touch with their friends and family with high quality
VoIP services, email, and other Internet
applications, as well as unwind with a fresh
selection of streaming video or TV programming.
These applications can share a common VSATwith other applications or use a separate
dedicated VSAT for increased total capacity and
better security, all managed as part of one global
network.
Network Monitoring for Gas Pipelines and
Other Assets
STM is a leader in satellite communications
solutions for Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA). This technology is commonlyused to monitor gas pipelines, as well as other
utility infrastructures. STM's SCADA solution
enables 24x7 surveillance and control, with
dynamic capacity on-demand for local voice or
data, as needed.
Video surveillance of pipelines and other oilfield
assets may also be required, depending on
location. SatLink VSATs, with the inbound high-
throughput capabilities for IP traffic allow all such
traffic to efficiently and effectively share acommon VSAT.
