Hermes Datacomms Wins Contract from Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) in Iraq

Hermes Datacomms Middle East, a key specialist providing Wide Area Network communications to the upstream oil and gas industry, has secured a contract to provide microwave and fibre connectivity to the Consolidated Contractors Company base in North Rumaila.

Hermes will provide a dedicated managed fibre circuit and 24/7 Network Operations support (NOC) in a 12 month time frame.

Bill des Rosiers, Middle East Regional Business Development Manager, explains: "The Hermes Datacomms vision for service and capabilities are further enhanced by the fibre offering. We believe this demonstrates the Hermes commitment to its customers in the dynamic Iraq market. We look forward to continuing growth and developing a stronger presence as a major end-to-end telecommunications provider in Iraq".

Hermes Datacomms Middle East CEO Kevin Thorley added: "Our aim is to ensure that all our Middle East customers are provided with in-depth, direct and extensive support and a more dependable and secure service that not only keeps up with the growth in the region but also exceeds customer and industry expectations."

Hermes Datacomms was awarded a trading license for Iraq in late 2011 and, since that time, has been working with partners to delivery turnkey projects involving fibre and last mile access as well as VSAT services, fixed, mobile and microwave services.

The company has been operating in the Middle East for more than a decade and established its Dubai office in 2008 to answer growing demand in the region. Rapid expansion since that time has led to ongoing strategic planning initiatives looking at expansion plans for operational capabilities and planned additions to the current 25-strong workforce.

Hermes Datacomms specialises in providing tailored Wide Area Communications to the upstream oil and gas industry worldwide including remote and challenging locations such as Algeria, Angola, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Libya, the Middle East, Iraq, Russia and Turkmenistan.
