Abstract

The use of information and communication technologies has expanded the ways of working and communicating with others. However, these offer challenges when people or organizations are in places where communication is difficult. Self-elevating platforms and vessels with oil and fishing activities are in the middle of the sea, and the distance between them and the nearest port is very far. This affects the flow of information and communication that it generates to function properly. The objective of this work is to implement a satellite communication system for an offshore platform using various tools and equipment related to local area networks and satellite networks, specifically VSAT technology. The proposed and used methodology is based on experience and considers site analysis, site design, equipment installation and satellite communication tests. This has been tested in previous satellite link implementations. As a result, the parameters obtained in antenna pointing, isolation and latency tests are adequate and optimal. The applied methodology presents practical steps with specific results that can be replicated or adapted to any satellite technology implementation.
