When the sea is your workplace, communication isn’t a luxury — it’s your lifeline.
In the turbulent waters off Brazil’s coast, Brava Energia faced a challenge that pushed the limits of technology and physics alike: connecting an offshore platform 126 miles (202 km) from land - farther than most engineers would even dare to attempt.
Fiber couldn’t reach. Satellites couldn’t deliver. And yet, failure wasn’t an option...
So, Brava called in Ceragon.
From Impossible to Unstoppable
What began as a high-risk mission soon became a global first. Together, Brava Energia and Ceragon built the world’s longest offshore wireless link - a high-capacity, low-latency connection strong enough to bridge sea and sky.
At its heart:
- Ceragon IP-20N + RFU-DHP 6 GHz radios, in a 4+0 configuration
- Ruggedized stabilization against wind, corrosion, and salt spray
- Guaranteed 99.99 % availability, even when nature doesn’t play nice
Where satellite systems lagged and fiber failed, Ceragon delivered real-time performance across 202 kilometers of open ocean.
Rewriting the Rules of Offshore Communication
This wasn’t just a link. It was a leap. A leap that enabled Brava Energia to replace unreliable satellite connections with deterministic low-latency backhaul - powering real-time monitoring, voice, and video for mission-critical operations.
A leap that fortified safety and operational efficiency while laying the foundation for future private LTE and IoT innovation across Brazil’s energy sector.
And perhaps most importantly - a leap that proved the impossible distance was never about miles. It was about mindset.
Engineering Meets Endurance
Every bolt, beam, and bit of data was tested by the elements. And yet, this record-breaking link still carries 250 Mbps daily — with proven capacity to double that when demand calls.
That’s what happens when innovation meets execution — when Ceragon turns a vision into a verified record.
From the Client
“Replacing unreliable satellite communication with a secure, high-capacity solution has provided us with the stability and performance required to modernize our operations and plan for the future.”
— Henrique Kronemberger, IT & Cybersecurity Manager, Brava Energia
