Upland Consulting initiated the sale of BSN’s D2000MD to a major upstream Nigerian oil company, which is to deploy the satellite-based tracking equipment to surmount the present Nigerian security situations and allow for accurate vehicle, marine and personnel tracking. BSN’s SkyRouter asset management web portal lets users track and communicate with remote land and sea-based assets and workers. Movements and mayday alerts of vessels and personnel can be tracked from any of the oil company’s dispatch centers in Nigeria.
