Think you missed the point of the article, it was about the poor communications currently fitted to the S92 to talk to various units when a long way offshore, not the helicopter itself (other than some minor comments). I wouldn't want to be a long way offshore out of VHF contact unless I had a reliable radio or system talk to my controlling authority. The current sat phone also sounds totally unreliable such that if the aircraft has a problem and needs to put out an emergency call, the crew cannot do so as it keeps falling over.
If either the MCA or some other authority is not listening, then perhaps an article like this in a daily newspaper is a last resort to get thngs moving at a quicker pace! Who's to say that a bit of politics isn't being played here? After all CHC themselves criticised both Sikorsky and Agusta Westland for their poor backup support on their website last year. I suspect that was after a lot of trying to sort something out without any positive response.
