MTN Communications (MTN) announces it is building a business development and technical team in Houston in response to 20 percent year-over-year growth in Oil & Gas vessels served.

MTN serves the most demanding and bandwidth-intensive customers, delivering high quality communications and content solutions to the Oil & Gas sector for 10+ years. The company’s unmatched network, experienced team, value-driven innovation and high bandwidth-level commitments are paying off. Commercial oil & gas organizations represent 32 percent of MTN’s customer base.

“Building our Houston team is one more investment in the Oil & Gas sector as we serve an unprecedented number of the most data-intensive customers in the industry,” said Errol Olivier, MTN CEO and Oil & Gas industry veteran. “Our customers tell us they sought out MTN for our extreme reliability, technology innovation and leading customer service. Thanks to that, we are proud to serve offshore sites around the world and have 100+ employees supporting them. With our recent award of the global Technip fleet, our customer confidence levels affirm our investment in Houston. We are pleased to provide the highest quality solutions to world-class organizations that operate in some of the most remote locations around the world.”

Santos Venegas, general manager, and Keith Morgan, senior sales engineer, have joined the MTN Oil & Gas Business Unit from Harris CapRock. Ty Garner, business development executive, has joined from Telemar. MTN solutions have become long-standing tools in sectors such as commercial shipping, cruise, government, ferries and megayachts. The company’s global network is unmatched, meshed and redundant, enabling services ideal for global fleets and individual vessels, such as remotely-operated/semi-submersibles, research vessels, pipelay and derricks, and supply and multipurpose offshore ships, as well as rigs and platforms. The team brings a proven ability to nimbly and flexibly anticipate, customize solutions for, and quickly address customer challenges. Oil & Gas customers have schedules that constantly shift and network demands that regularly vary. The MTN Lean Six Sigma approach to issues resolution enables quick recovery, safety, operational excellence and continuous improvement.

In addition, the MTN Network Operations Center is responsive, flexible and manned 24/7/365 with knowledgeable, experienced technical support staff. Organizations needing communications and content in some of the most far-reaching locations around the world rely on MTN for End-User Products (Internet, voice, live global TV and events streaming and mobile apps), Enterprise Solutions (crew welfare tools, Web portals and video conferencing), and Technical Solutions (network management, ship tracking, onboard diagnostic tools and bandwidth optimization).
