Inmarsat Maritime, which is owned by Viasat, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saudi energy and chemical company Aramco to undertake a 5G mesh network trial.
In a release, Inmarsat Maritime noted that the trial aims to provide high-bandwidth connectivity for Aramco’s offshore work in the Arabian Gulf.
The satellite company noted that this technology is designed to provide high-speed communication capabilities while meeting the demands of the region’s climate – including extreme heat, sandstorms, wind and water evaporation.
