Recent communication from some of the leading maritime businesses has shown that their biggest challenge for 2011 is their retention of key offshore personnel.
The cost in constantly retraining new personnel involved in anything from core day to day activities to multi-million pound projects has huge implications on productivity, delivery costs and morale.
The “boredom factor” is sighted as the key area affecting the lifecycle of offshore workers. Lack of entertainment and “access to the outside world” on board vessels and offshore platforms leaves staff feeling isolated and unable to benefit positively from available rest periods.
Access to broadband services such as the internet, VoIP telephony and webcams which would help remove this feeling of isolation, are often not provided, or provided only in a communal area limiting availability and removing any privacy.
By using a unique technology called Power Line Communication (PLC), Freedom Digital Networks (FDN) have created the perfect way to distribute a vSat feed across any vessel or platform by simply injecting a digital signal into the electrical wiring on-board - we bypass the need for any new cabling.
Most importantly, we bypass the need for any major work to on-board structures requiring watertight/fireproof integrity. Our networks are designed to overcome they typical problems encountered with marine vessels and offshore platforms.
FDN are also in negotition with a number of leading UK universities to create remote study and exam packages carried out via specially designed secure, low bandwidth webcam systems. The aim being to allow offshore operators the ability to provide their personnel with a portfolio of marine and non-marine based study options to help them further their careers, feel valued and keep them motivated.
With the cost and speed of vSat feeds greatly improved over recent months, offshore platforms and vessels have access to suitable connectivity and now thanks to PLC they are able to simply distribute this signal to provide services such as Internet Access, VoIP Telephony, IPTV, Video on Demand, Room Management & Control, PA and AV systems, CCTV and many more throughout all areas, all enabled at the same time over one network using our unique technology.
Reduce costs and improve crew and guest welfare while improving safety, security and communication.
NO MESS, NO CABLING, NO DOWNTIME. Just a solution to an age old problem.
