Speedcast, a leading global communications and IT services provider, has partnered with TGS, a top provider of data and intelligence to the energy industry, to implement an all-LEO satellite connectivity solution across TGS' fleet of high-capacity vessels and Ocean Bottom Node operations. The new system, utilizing Starlink's Dedicated Service, enables near real-time transmission and remote cloud processing of up to 10 terabytes of seismic data daily, with sustained upload speeds of 1Gbit/s.
This replaces the need for physical media transportation and reduces the strain on onboard High-Performance Computing systems. TGS Vice President Enterprise IT, Jérôme Cousin, emphasized the importance of digitalization, stating that the constraint has always been the speed at which data can be moved, not the amount recorded. Speedcast EVP Global Sales, James Trevelyan, highlighted the partnership's potential to simplify operations, centralize specialist expertise, and accelerate the delivery of high-quality insights to clients worldwide.
