"We are proud to support Orsted in developing renewable energy worldwide, by providing our expertise in critical communication solutions. This first contract in Taiwan under the new APAC frame agreement reinforces our partnership with Orsted, which we initiated two years ago within a European frame agreement," said Cyril Dujardin, Atos Senior VP, Mission-Critical Systems, Big Data & Security Division.
"We have chosen once again to rely on Atos' expertise to provide the communication systems of our wind farms' critical infrastructures. Atos' proven engineering competencies are crucial in the harsh and challenging environment of offshore wind farms. Seamless interaction of staff and systems is imperative for safe and efficient operations," explains Mads Thorsted Nielsen at Orsted.
