When oil and gas facilities deploy private cellular networks, reduced downtime and increased productivity make for an overall more cost-effective and efficient operation. Cellular’s enhanced connectivity allows for the real-time monitoring of the condition and performance of critical assets. Operators can detect when equipment is at risk of damage or malfunction, allowing optimal productivity and output levels.
RKTPL is helping oil and gas companies accelerate their digitalization with 4G and 5G private networks. High bandwidth connectivity also means more agility, which offers:
- Next level 5G performance connectivity
- Access to real-time data
- Data analysis and data-driven insights for full optimization
- A fully digitalized ecosystem of IT and OT, with cellular connectivity as the glue linking it all
- Self-managing, self-maintenance and optimizing its own production with connectivity and Artificial Intelligence
The oil and gas industry, like many critical industries, is looking to digitalization to bring operations into the modern era, improving efficiency, productivity and safety across every aspect of the business.
There are many unique challenges, however, to creating the communications infrastructure that will underpin this transformation. Refineries are vast, outdoor environments, with many moving parts that need to be tracked. The networks supporting these complex, sprawling installations are often a patchwork of different technologies, all at varying states of modernization, further complicating the already fragile digital transformation efforts that some oil and gas companies have underway.
To transform the oil and gas industry, networks need to be reliable, powerful and secure. LTE private networks can deliver what the industry needs right now while laying the foundation for a seamless transition to 5G and beyond, giving IT and OT managers a single network that’s easier to manage than several disparate technologies. And it will result in value creation – the use of advanced connectivity to optimize drilling and production throughput and improve maintenance and field operations.
