Tampnet closes purchase of BP's Gulf of Mexico fibre system

Wednesday 7 April 2021 | 16:05 CET | News
Norwegian offshore communications network operator Tampnet said it has closed the acquisition from BP of a 1,200km offshore fibre cable system in the Gulf of Mexico. Tampnet signed the agreement back in July, with the company now describing the acquisition as one of the most significant milestones in its history, allowing it to take ownership of a key subsea fibre cable system, which was already being used for its offshore LTE network, and replicate its leading position in the North Sea.
