Worldwide, thousands of kilometers of pipelines are installed for the transport of oil, gas, water, etc.. The length of a pipeline can vary from 100 km up to 1000 km or more. Along a pipeline, various stations are built to control the flow of the liquid, e.g. departure stations, compression stations, block valve stations, pumping stations, etc.. In these substations, various kinds of services have to be available: telephony, public address, data communications (e.g. telecontrol), video surveillance, etc...

They all have mixed communication needs, requiring state of the art communication systems that will keep them going, no matter what.

The OTN is a powerful one-step multiplexer, allowing to connect any electronic device being used in a pipeline environment to a reliable fiber optic backbone, without expensive, hard-to-manage and performance-decreasing converter equipment. The OTN carries the information completely transparently.

The equipment connected can access the network anytime and all users can send their information simultaneously and at different rates avoiding long access times and enabling real time applications.

Integrating all voice, data, LAN and video services into one system avoids the need for an extensive team of specialists, keeping operational and maintenance costs low.

Its scalable architecture, flexible configurations and non-stop operations makes it a perfect match for the oil & gas industry. Take a look at the benefits of an OTN.
