A direct line to hard-to-reach assets

Remote Access

When it comes to oil and gas, safe and reliable operation is critical. Maximum control and connectivity is essential. That’s difficult when assets are dispersed over vast territories in rugged terrain in demanding conditions.

Oil and gas operators need networking and data access solutions engineered for real-time, automated use in harsh settings, that are easy to set up and are built to last.

Connectivity

A well-designed and high-performing network not only provides always-on connectivity over industrial systems, it saves costs by combining multiple functions in fewer devices. A multi-functional network gateway provides communication and data logging capabilities, which means fewer devices to install, power and maintain
