Oil and gas refineries: Why Private Wireless beats Wi-Fi

PEX Network | 10/09/2024

Unplanned outages in the oil, gas, refineries and petrochemical industries are expensive requiring preventative maintenance thorough routine inspections, remote monitoring and planned turnaround shutdowns. These efforts often face a common hurdle: lack of reliable connectivity. While Wi-Fi is typically the go-to choice, its performance in large, metal-heavy environments is often inadequate.

Enter Private Wireless technology. With the deployment of Private LTE/5G LAN, organizations can improve on-site worker productivity and operation efficiencies and solve stranded data challenges to harness the power of Industry 4.0 technologies.
