Nokia and Tampnet partner to expand 5G offshore connectivity in the Gulf of Mexico
Nokia and Tampnet are expanding offshore 5G connectivity in the
Gulf of Mexico / Gulf of America by deploying Nokia 5G AirScale technology across Tampnet’ s 120 active base stations and extending coverage to 350 – 400 platforms, rigs, FPSOs, wind assets and vessels.
Building on the first autonomous offshore 5G edge deployment on the Norwegian continental shelf, the partnership accelerates digital transformation for offshore energy operations. network enhances safety and unlocks digital applications that were not possible before.”
“ Our work with Tampnet shows how Nokia private wireless transforms demanding industrial environments,” said Jeff Pittman, Head of North America Enterprise, Mobile Networks, Nokia.“ Together, we are setting new benchmarks for offshore connectivity for key energy operators and their workforce.”
The Gulf is a core region for Tampnet, whose subsea fiber and hybrid networks form the digital backbone for mission-critical offshore activity. With upgraded 5G private wireless, operators gain real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance and scalable automation that improve safety, reduce downtime and support more sustainable operations.
Nokia’ s 5G capabilities enable autonomous inspections, video analytics, worker communications and improved situational awareness. These capabilities reduce manual risk and support smarter, data-driven operations from site to shore.
“ Tampnet’ s investment in Nokia 5G strengthens our ability to meet evolving connectivity and automation needs in the Gulf,” said Arnt Erling Skavdal, CTO, Mobile Technology, Tampnet.“ The upgraded
AI upgrade helps Curaçao Medical Center accelerate cancer treatment
Cancer patients at Curaçao Medical Center( CMC) can now begin their radiotherapy treatment faster with greater precision and fewer side effects thanks to a major technological advancement.
For patients the benefits are immediate. The time between the CT scan and the start of treatment is now significantly reduced helping lower anxiety while enabling earlier more precise care.
CMC has introduced a state-of-the-art treatment planning platform powered by AI – becoming the first hospital in the region to implement the innovation.
“ Our goal is simple,” said Lucien Zuiverloon, Radiotherapy Coordinator.“ We want patients to start treatment sooner with full confidence that their plan is as accurate as possible.”
With this upgrade CMC joins leading institutions such as the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam and the Northwest Hospital Group in Alkmaar. The system Elekta One operates on the advanced MIM Software ecosystem.
Medical Physicist Whitney Coulor highlighted the clinical impact.“ AI allows us to protect healthy organs more effectively even very small structures such as lymph nodes and blood vessels. With improved visibility we can guide the equipment to deliver the lowest possible dose to healthy tissue resulting in fewer side effects and a better quality of life.”
The Elekta One + MIM upgrade was installed in close collaboration with Elekta technicians the IT Department Medical Physics Medical Technology and the Radiotherapy Team. The system also prepares Curaçao for next-generation linear accelerators and advanced radiotherapy techniques.
Zuiverloon said:“ Being among the first in the region to adopt this technology shows our commitment to world-class cancer care right here at home.”
