SkyPort Global Communications has signed an agreement with Drillsite Broadcast Company to deliver satellite connectivity and support Drillsite's video broadcast operations. Drillsite, based in Carrollton, TX, is a leading provider of video technology to the energy sector with its proprietary "Virtual Rig Access" suite of services.

The company provides video feeds to the computer screens of supervisors and investors who remotely monitor rig operations and instruments. The Drillsite technology has been proven to increase the efficiency of the drilling operations and shorten the time that the energy exploration goals are achieved.

"This agreement will enable Drillsite to benefit from SkyPort's satellite communications infrastructure," said Patrick Brant, President and CEO of SkyPort. "And it will allow both companies to provide better services to oil and gas operators and contractors."

Under the terms of the agreement, SkyPort and Drillsite will deliver communication solutions to more efficiently enable companies to integrate individual components, such as Drillsite's real-time video, VOIP, data link and other well-site communication services, integration and support.

Under this agreement, SkyPort and Drillsite will also cooperate with joint sales, product development, marketing, and services delivery to the oil and gas drilling sector.
