The satellite service will provide high speed connectivity between ConocoPhillip’s offshore production facilities in the Bayu-Undan field in the Timor Sea and their regional headquarters in Perth, Australia. With this latest contract, the size of the link will increase to 60 Mbps in both directions, representing one of the largest point-to-point links for commercial purposes in the Australian region.
