Earlier this summer, brave members of the Speedcast team embarked upon a journey that demonstrates pushing the limits of physical ability, resilience and teamwork. In the UK, the National Three Peaks Challenge is one of the most difficult adventure challenge activities, in which participants attempt to hike each of the highest mountain peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours or less. Enduring unusually cold temperatures, rain and wind throughout the entire day, the Speedcast team finished the Three Peaks Challenge in a remarkable 19 hours, 57 minutes. Here is a recount of their story.

U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and British Geological Survey scientists (with support from NOAA, USGS and U.S. Department of Energy) are currently on an underwater expedition to study methane seeps on the ocean floor of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic margin, located in the Atlantic Ocean between Maryland and North Carolina. Speedcast customer Oceaneering’s Global Explorer remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is exploring various seeps on the ocean floor, and a live public video feed of the moving ROV is available here thanks to satellite connectivity from Speedcast’s marine offshore skid system.
