Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for underwater has been the partner in the offshore oil rig, underwater communication cable installations, and other major underwater constructions for safety installations and maintenance. ROV uses different sizes, from an observation class weighing less than 10kg to a work class ROV weighing 1 to a hundred tons in weight. Electrical power requirements of ROV increase from less than 1kw to a thousand kilowatts of power in relation to its class. The risks involved in electrical safety also increase without proper training in electrical safety awareness.

Over the last 20 years or so, ROV Pilots and Technicians have had to master more and more trades and skills. In these days of small operation teams, working with more complex systems, usually far from home, they are expected to keep all their equipment at 100% availability, as well as use their special skills in navigating their vehicles safely and surely around all the hazards of the subsea environment.

This September, we are kicking off the month with a brand new set of blog features. Subnet Services presents our first blog entry written by our very own fiber optics instructor, Ms. Prescy Acero. Join her as she discusses about Distributed Antenna System (DAS), its components, deployment, and importance in this age of wireless communication.

This September, Subnet Services will be offering two new fiber optics courses! Whether you have just started as a fiber optics personnel or you have been working in this field for years, you can still expand your skills and boost your career. With our latest course offerings, you can add another certification under your belt.

There are basically two tips on how you will be able to grow your business with fiber optics: (1) train your employees in fiber optics, especially if your business is involved in field per se, and (2) apply fiber optics in your communication systems. Let’s talk about the need for the latter in this week’s blog entry.
