The author surveys the various forms of communication used for offshore systems. He looks at the changing nature of the offshore scene due to advances in platform design and to the increasing demand for more energy, and relates these changes to their effect on communication system requirements. In taking the North Sea system as an example, the author covers development of equipment and describes both a typical satellite terminal and the recent advances in digital troposcatter systems. The factors affecting the choice of any system are reviewed and the future possibilities considered.
