Radwin, the global provider of Backhaul and Broadband Wireless Solutions, announced that its wireless communication systems were deployed by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) – a multi-billion dollar company and the largest offshore oil and gas producer in China. The China National Offshore Oil Corporation is using the Radwin 2000 high-capacity Point-to-Point systems to connect its corporate offices to off-shore oil platforms located 86 kilometers apart in the sea. The Radwin 2000 sub-6 GHz solutions deliver up to 200 Mbps at ranges of up to 120 Km/75 miles. The radios incorporate advanced radio technologies such as OFDM and MIMO, thus reducing the effects of fading and reflections over water and enabling superior performance in challenging geographical environments including non-line-of-sight paths and extreme weather conditions.
A Manager in the Communications Department of China National Offshore Oil Corporation stated: “We looked for a solution that would allow us to extend communications from our offices on land to our offshore oil platforms in the sea. The VSAT links we were using provided low bandwidth and didn’t satisfy the requirements of our growing network data services. After an intensive evaluation process we chose Radwin’s links because they were the only systems capable of delivering high capacity over tens of kilometers. Today we couldn’t be happier; Radwin’s systems operate in high humidity conditions and over water, and even in situations where there is no direct line-of-sight.”
Roni Weinberg, Radwin’s Executive VP & COO stated: “We are proud to add the China National Offshore Oil Corporation to our customer base. Radwin fulfills the needs of utility companies all over the world, empowering them to cost-effectively deliver voice and data services to remote locations over the land and sea. With our solutions, utility companies can set-up communications easily and realize dramatic cost savings in comparison to other modes of communications.”
