Oil giant improves safety and remote monitoring.​​  

Satellite and M2M solutions help monitor leaks, flow rates and temperatures.​​ 

Challenge​​ 

The company needed a better way to improve the safety and monitoring of remote on-shore and off-shore pipeline assets.​​ 

  • Some pipeline assets are located outside of wireless coverage​​ 
  • Data was required to be securely sent over hardened communications equipment​​

  • Connected remote pipeline assets with managed VSAT​​ 
  • Installed a managed M2M backup solution at sites where there was wireless coverage​​ 
  • Deployed hardened Verizon customer premises equipment (CPE) and Cisco routers​​ 

Outcome​​ 

Verizon connectivity solutions helped the company proactively improve equipment performance, technician productivity, and safety and compliance at remote sites.​​
