Who is Tampnet?
Tampnet is a telecommunications infrastructure operator that builds and operates offshore and remote-area Long Term Evolution (LTE), 5G and fiber-based connectivity for enterprises in sectors such as energy, maritime, and offshore transportation.
- Offshore and remote-area mobile networks (LTE/5G) for enterprise and industrial use
- Subsea and terrestrial fiber networks for high-capacity backhaul and Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity (networking)
- Managed connectivity services for platforms, vessels, rigs, and remote sites (managed network services)
- Roaming and integration services with public Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) (connectivity integration)
- Network monitoring and operations support for mission-critical industrial communications (network operations)

More About Tampnet
Tampnet operates telecommunications infrastructure targeted at enterprises that require wide-area, high-availability connectivity in offshore, coastal, and other hard-to-reach environments. Its networks are used by organizations in oil and gas, offshore wind, maritime shipping, and related industrial domains that run Operational technology (OT) and IT workloads on platforms, rigs, vessels, and remote coastal facilities.
The company’s core offering is a combination of private and shared mobile networks (LTE/5G) and subsea fiber systems (networking) that together provide backhaul and access connectivity. Offshore base stations and radio sites extend cellular coverage across sea basins, with subsea and terrestrial fiber providing low-latency, high-bandwidth transport back to data centers and onshore facilities. This supports Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) traffic, real-time monitoring, voice, video, and standard enterprise applications used by offshore personnel.
From an architecture perspective, Tampnet aligns with typical carrier-grade mobile and IP networking stacks, including 3GPP-based LTE and 5G technologies (mobile networking) and MPLS/IP over optical fiber (WAN networking). Its services integrate with customer enterprise networks via standard interfaces such as IP VPNs, Ethernet handoffs, and peering with public internet and cloud on-ramps, allowing enterprises to extend their existing security, identity, and network management frameworks to offshore assets.
Enterprises commonly position Tampnet’s services as part of their hybrid WAN or Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) design (networking), treating offshore LTE/5G and fiber segments as additional underlay links. This supports Traffic Engineering (TE) across satellite, fiber, and mobile access paths, with Tampnet often functioning as a primary or secondary connectivity provider where terrestrial networks are unavailable. The company’s managed connectivity services and network operations support align with NOC-style monitoring, incident handling, and SLA-based service delivery.
In market taxonomies, Tampnet fits into categories such as carrier-neutral infrastructure (where fiber and backbone capacity is provided to multiple customers), mobile network services for vertical industries (vertical-specific connectivity), and managed connectivity for OT-heavy environments (industrial networking). For enterprise technical stakeholders, the main relevance lies in extending corporate IP architectures to offshore and remote domains while using standard telecom frameworks, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) protocols, and enterprise networking practices already deployed onshore.
