The Frequentis IP voice communication system (VCS) managed by Avinor. The system allows safe control and coordination of all helicopter flights in the North Sea region in support of an oil rig offshore, supporting the essential and timely provision of critical resources.
The oil rig in question is a vast complex of platforms and structures creating a transportation hub for surrounding oil fields. Frequentis has installed its VCS3020X for seven off-shore controller working positions in its control centre. Two additional remote on-shore positions are located at Stavanger, in Western Norway, connected via an undersea fibre optic cable, more than 100 kilometres away from the main off-shore VCS servers.
