A Growing and Evolving Industry Needs To Keep Up
In 1859, the first oil well was drilled in Pennsylvania. Since that time – nearly 165 years later – the oil and gas industries have grown by leaps and bounds. In fact, oil supplies 33% of the world’s energy, and natural gas supplies 24%.
Collectively providing the world with 57% of its energy, the oil and gas industries have become a global powerhouse. In the United States alone, roughly 10.3 million people are employed in the oil and gas industry.
As the industry continues to grow and evolve, it’s important that organizations are able to keep up with new innovations and improvements in communications and operations, as well as remaining compliant with regulatory requirements.
The Nokia Private LTE (PLTE) solution makes this an attainable goal for organizations of all sizes, including those that have operations spread across wide geographic areas that are heavily relying on Industrial Internet of Things components to power their operations.
Changing Business Conditions and Markets Requires More Efficient Communications
The oil and gas industry is highly regulated and under constant pressure to be as efficient, responsible, and sustainable as possible. By digitizing its operations and communications, the industry can stay compliant, flexible, and scalable.
However, as the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) continues to advance, it’s becoming increasingly clear that legacy networks were not designed to keep up.
With a constant flow of high-volume data running across networks that power everything from smart monitors and sensors to video surveillance and voice communications, networks must be lightning fast, secure, and reliable.
Legacy networks suffer from high latency, preventing data from being accessible in real-time, and are unable to scale effectively to adopt IoT measures to support increased operational efficiency.
Nokia Private LTE Supports A Broad Range of Use
It’s currently not uncommon to see operations utilizing WiFi for data and private radio networks for their mobile communications on-site. They may also run separate networks to power their IoT connectivity in an attempt to not overload a single system.
For organizations looking to support internal and external communications, video surveillance, real-time data and voice, and IoT applications, there’s one clear solution – a Private LTE network.
Simplified Networks
With Nokia’s Private LTE solution – powered by the Nokia Modular Private Wireless (MPW) and based on proven 4.9G technology and the world’s first 5G standalone solution – all critical components can be connected securely and in real-time.
A single infrastructure powered by Nokia PLTE enables fast, reliable, and secure data, low-latency remote control, mission-critical communications, real-time video transmission, and IoT applications.
Enhance Connectivity
Private LTE or 5G also ensures reliable coverage and connectivity in areas where WiFi may not provide complete coverage. This increases productivity by ensuring systems are in constant contact and transmitting data securely and in real-time.
Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (NDAC), offered as a service, lets you combine plug-and-play 4.9G and 5G networking with on-premises data management and processing to support real-time applications for smart mining, predictive maintenance and remote operations.
Infinity Technology Solutions for Private Wireless
With Nokia’s complete portfolio of private wireless networking solutions at our fingertips, Infinity Technology Solutions has decades of experience obtaining and installing PLTE for various industries, including oil and gas.
