The Gulf of Suez Petroleum Company (GUPCO), which carries out oil and gas exploration, development and production operations in Egypt, has deployed a fixed wireless broadband network from Cambium Networks to connect onshore and offshore operations and thus improve efficiency and safety.
By replacing its legacy system with a network designed by wireless telecommunications services provider Systel Telecom, GUPCO says it can achieve higher capacity and improved network stability with a unified communication system that is easier to provision, operate and manage.
Energy companies depend increasingly upon high-speed connectivity to run efficient operations – from remote monitoring and control over assets to the collection and analysis of large amounts of data.
GUPCO’s solution connects three remote processing areas, nine production platforms and offshore rigs and 80 remote unmanned production platforms. The network supports data services, SCADA connectivity, weather stations, vessel tracking systems, voice and video conferencing and CCTV video surveillance.
