Digitization of utilities and oil and gas companies offers immense value potential for the energy sector. Utilities are adopting advanced metering infrastructures to incorporate an abundance of distributed energy resources and smart appliances. Oil and gas companies are implementing IoT to optimize drilling and production and upgrade maintenance and field operations. However, revolutionizing the energy industry also requires incumbents to implement solutions that boost data transmission and connectivity capabilities while extending them exactly where they’re needed.
Networks in the energy industry currently use a patchwork of technologies at various stages of development. To transform operations, you need to connect thousands of devices spread over miles of territory with a single 5G- and LTE-powered private network that supports fast, secure, high-throughput communications—and that’s easier to manage than assorted technologies.
5G and LTE technologies enable a multi-service private network that gives you the capacity to meet customer demand for enhanced experiences, face challenges from aggressive competitors, adopt wireless solutions to upgrade operations, and improve efficiencies.
