Tampnet has been selected to provide digital infrastructure for the Salamanca deep-water development in the US Gulf by LLOG Exploration. The project, including a floating production unit, has begun production at the Leon and Castile fields. Tampnet’s connectivity services will support real-time collaboration and streamline operations, enhancing efficiency and reducing the need for physical presence offshore.

To support the Salamanca project and other developments in the region, Tampnet has expanded its subsea fibre-optic network by 140km and increased its 4G/5G LTE network coverage by 10,000km². The network solution incorporates fibre-based connectivity and Tampnet’s 5G infrastructure, which is optimized for industrial applications requiring high bandwidth and secure network slicing capabilities.

The network system is designed to work in conjunction with FirstNet and AT&T for essential communications, with a backup via low Earth orbit satellite for consistent operations. With this expansion, Tampnet’s network in the US Gulf now spans over 1,700km of subsea fibre, connecting more than 20 offshore facilities. Tampnet’s CEO, Elie Hanna, emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting the offshore energy industry’s digital transformation and data demands driven by AI, automation, and digital twins.

Established in 2001, Tampnet serves over 450 energy assets with its suite of services, including fibre, LTE, and private 5G connectivity. The company’s offerings aim to provide high-bandwidth connectivity to meet operational requirements from offshore locations to onshore facilities.
