Solution for gas transportation industry (gas transportation and remote shore based facilities)

Company “NVP Ukravtomatika” is ready to offer an effective solution of providing wireless communications services for oil rigs and remote shore based facilities. The solutions are based on checked up equipment of company Redline Communications.

Connecting oil rigs to high speed networks generally required a satellite connection. Now a new option is available that overcomes the performance limitations and high cost associated with satellites and provides high-speed two-way data, voice and video connections.

Business Requirement

Remote industrial centers like oil-drilling platforms require reliable (and expensive) high-speed connectivity for a variety of applications, including telecommunications services for the oil-rig's equipment and weather data.
Geological data is constantly sent from the rig in real time - as video data or conference-call audio - for critical analysis by scientists on shore. For staff, broadband access allows for voice and fax services, e-mail and web browsing (for distance learning), as well as downloading videos for after-work hours.

Oil companies require a multi-service infrastructure for their oil rigs, but satellite pricing is typically very expensive. Satellite connections are not only expensive; they are also slow and unreliable.

Clearly, a network architecture is needed that can displace satellite by providing a reliable, high-speed, cost-effective link - one that's also tuned for long distances. Robustness is also a consideration, as the equipment may be exposed to extreme heat, cold, salt air, water reflections, etc.
