### Project overview

A [maritime installation](https://satcenter.tv/maritime-commissioning-and-maintenance-services/) was completed on an **offshore rig**, involving the delivery and commissioning of a satellite television reception and distribution system.
The objective of the project was to provide reliable [DVB-S2 satellite TV signals](https://satcenter.tv/hospitality-iptv-solutions/) to multiple accommodation and recreational areas on the rig.

### Delivered system

The delivered solution consisted of the following components:

- [Wavefield TVRO 90 cm](https://satcenter.tv/maritime-tvro-solutions-iptv-entertainment/) satellite antenna
- **Quad LNB** configuration for multi-signal distribution
- **Multiswitch system** for satellite signal routing
- Distribution of **DVB-S2 signals** to multiple endpoints
- Entertainment system infrastructure for onboard use

The Wavefield TVRO antenna was selected for stable satellite tracking and suitability for offshore operating conditions.

### Signal distribution and coverage

The multiswitch system was configured to distribute satellite television signals to a total of [48 TV connections](https://satcenter.tv/maritime-tvro-solutions-iptv-entertainment/) across the rig, including:

- recreation room
- crew mess room
- additional accommodation and common areas

This setup allows simultaneous access to satellite television services across all connected areas without signal degradation.

### Maritime installation scope

As part of this **marine installation**, the following activities were performed:

- antenna installation and alignment
- LNB configuration and signal optimisation
- installation of the multiswitch system
- routing and termination of coaxial cabling
- testing and verification of DVB-S2 signal quality
- system commissioning and handover

All work was carried out in accordance with offshore installation practices.

### System performance and reliability

The installed satellite TV system provides:

- stable satellite reception in offshore conditions
- consistent signal quality across all TV outlets
- scalable architecture for future expansion
- compatibility with standard marine and offshore entertainment systems

The solution supports continuous entertainment availability for crew members during offshore operations.
