(ITA) demonstrated its solution for connection via OneWeb at the Angola Oil & Gas 2026 conference, which took place this week (September 9-10). The goal of the presentation was to showcase reliable communication methods capable of meeting the connectivity needs of operations in regions with limited ground coverage.
Using low Earth orbit satellites, this technology provides faster and more resilient communication channels for work in industries such as the oil and gas industry, especially in areas where traditional networks have limitations. For the oil and gas sector, this solution can support tasks such as connecting remote sites, ensuring communication between field teams, monitoring production processes, and critical systems dependent on continuous data transmission.
The proposed solution offers deployment flexibility and can function as a primary connection, a backup system, or be integrated into hybrid network structures, allowing adaptation to various operational requirements. In addition to the oil and gas sector, OneWeb can be applied in mining, agriculture, transportation, and any other business area requiring stable access to digital services outside standard coverage zones.
OneWeb is based on a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites located approximately 1000 km from Earth, which is significantly closer than traditional geostationary satellites. This allows for reduced data transmission latency and ensures high-speed connections suitable for operations requiring access to digital platforms, efficient information exchange, and business application usage.
