Internet service provider (ISP) and VSAT company, CallKey Network has announced plans to avail communication products targeted at the East African oil and gas industries.
Kenya, South Sudan and Uganda have discovered great oil deposits, tipped to improve the economic fortunes of these East African countries.
CallKey's special focus will be the provision of guaranteed services that meet data demands recognised by companies already carrying out activities surrounding exploration and seismic acquisition, the company says.
The company is known for its Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) technology which uses a two way broadband satellite to transmit data. The company is working with satellite company, Avanti to provide these services.
"Callkey VSAT Solutions are tailored specifically for the oil and gas industry. Callkey manages the link, ensuring traffic is prioritised to the client's specific requirements and providing 24/7 support thus eliminating any concerns from the customer and freeing up their time to focus on their own projects," Salim Suleman, the Group Managing Director said.
"Callkey is proactive (in) reducing customer requests and very quick to activate terminals. An example of specially tailored Oil and Gas service is bandwidth management enabling priority to voice and video for specifics links used by crew members in Oil and Gas camps."
The company also aims to provide reliable Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services and improving communication in remote areas where mining takes place.
The company currently has 1,200 corporate customers across the region.
