With most of Australia not covered by the standard mobile network carriers, getting reliable connectivity in remote areas can be difficult. Oil and Gas companies trying to run efficient, safe and productive operations off the beaten path have a hard time finding a network solution that suits their unique IT and OT (operational technology) requirements.
Smile IT is a remote communications expert providing the oil and gas industry with clear, fast and reliable networks, wherever they are in Australia or offshore. For a high-bandwidth connectivity solution and 24/7 IT monitoring, get in touch with our team today.
Oil and gas companies want to cut down on operational expenses and become more profitable. To do this, the industry has become a leader in adopting digital transformation, adopting the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics and digital technologies to manage physical equipment and help make better-informed decisions.
At the heart of these technologies and their management lies a network that supports fast data processing and crystal-clear communications. Whether in drilling, exploration or production, this connectivity becomes the lifeblood of your operations, connecting your people, assets and equipment. It’s essential for the operational technology that runs the technology and equipment relied on in the industry.
If you want the peace of mind of knowing that your network is in the hands of true and experienced professionals, get in touch with Smile IT today!
Industrial mesh helps us spread connectivity to every corner of your oil or gas field. You can place rugged wireless nodes strategically across your site, and be able to access data, communicate seamlessly and remotely monitor applications. A Kinetic Mesh network drives efficiency and profitability, providing significant ROI.
Thanks to Starlink’s network of low-orbiting satellites, no location is too remote to enjoy fast and reliable connectivity. This has been a game changer for oil and gas companies operating in far-flung regions. Starlink brings high-speed internet into your rig or site, and Smile IT provides backhaul and local network solutions to distribute it to all personnel and assets.
Reliable backhaul is an essential component in a remote communication infrastructure on an oil and gas field. When fibre backhaul or other options aren’t available, we turn to Cambium Networks, a global leader in wireless connectivity. No matter how formidable your environment is, Cambium can provide the wireless network to support your mission critical operations. Minimum downtime, maximum productivity.
Comprehensive surveillance places you in the driving seat when it comes to security on your oil and gas project. Smile IT can provide solutions that allow for real time monitoring and recording, safeguarding assets and personnel. Essential for industry compliance… and your own peace of mind!
You need to be in control of who enters and leaves your oil and gas rig or site. Smile IT can provide sophisticated access control systems that that integrate with your current infrastructure and your CCTV. Overall site security improves, and sensitive areas can only be accessed by authorised personnel who are meant to be there.
Consistent communication with your critical assets helps you stay on top of upkeep schedules, performing maintenance in time to reduce breakdowns and downtime. Increased lifespan, improved safety and maximised productivity results.
Reliable and fast connectivity is a cornerstone of health and safety in the oil and gas industry. It improves the operational safety of machines on site, with real-time safety monitoring becoming a standard feature. It also allows for quick communications and dispatch in the case of an emergency.
Gathering extensive operational data daily helps inform your decision-making processes, while guiding how to optimise production, reduce energy use and manage emissions. The optimisation of drilling speeds can be a massive cost-saving factor in the oil and gas industry.
Remote drilling can significantly reduce the number of people on a rig, reducing costs and improving health and safety. A high-speed remote network will allow for advanced VR capabilities and data visualisation, while supporting extensive automation.
Unplanned downtime is a massive cost for oil and gas companies and any step to mitigate it is always welcomed. Improved equipment maintenance, enhanced communications, better training and support and data-informed decision-making all contribute to reducing downtime on a rig or site.
There’s an overwhelming amount of regulatory laws and regulations in the oil and gas industry, and staying on the right side of them is essential to avoid negative consequences. Having fast, reliable and secure connectivity helps meet compliance requirements.
