Gas and Crude Oil Distribution

Transportation and distribution systems for petroleum products and gas use large numbers of remote monitoring. measuring and control stations.  These stations tend to be spread out over large distances, yet their data must be transferred to the control units. Transmission via the wireless network provides for very efficient long distance communications.

Main application samples:

• Transfer of data obtained by systems used for the monitoring of leaks in pipes carrying petroleum products and oils
• Monitoring of gas regulation stations
• Monitoring of gas reservoirs
• Data transfer from gas measuring instruments (gas meters)
• SCADA systems
