CapRock Communications has launched NetSpot, their newest value-added service offering for the energy industry. NetSpot is an on-demand wireless Internet service designed for rigs located in the Gulf of Mexico equipped with CapRock's turnkey VSAT solution.

NetSpot enables rig owners, rig operators, and service companies alike to leverage the wireless hotspot found at the remote rig site for corporate requirements as well as the crew's recreational use. While these market segments rely on the Internet for different needs, they share the common requirement for instant and easy broadband access. There are no upfront infrastructure costs associated with the service. Any laptop equipped with a wireless card can easily connect to NetSpot. This added flexibility is ideal for service companies that require short-term connectivity, from a few days up to several months, and do not want long-term contracts for their communication needs.
