Field proven examples of optical networks to support oil, gas and water applications have been deployed, which benefit from the integrated voice, data, Ethernet and video capabilities of Lentronics Multiplexers.

Offshore optical networks connecting production platforms, FPSO vessel, etc. are becoming commonplace. On shore production fields have well clusters linked by optical cable, providing improved network reliability and bandwidth suitable to accommodate modern Ethernet SCADA and production monitoring/security related video applications.

Pipelines of all types require sophisticated leak detection, hydraulic control and more recently security applications supported by a high speed communications network.

In addition oil, gas and water companies with their own electrical distribution or transmission grid have their substations linked by optical cable to monitor, control and protect this critical production asset.
