The rugged design, reliability, compact size and low power consumption of Lentronics Multiplexers make them the ideal optical networking solution for all types of pipelines, oil and gas production fields, as well as protection, monitoring and control of any associated electrical distribution or transmission network.

Optical communication systems are becoming the dominant communications choice, overcoming the technical limitations and higher operational costs of traditional satellite, microwave and spread spectrum radio system solutions. The once prohibitive cost of optical cable is now viewed as a low cost transmission alternative, as it can be economically deployed in the trench with the pipe, or strung along electrical distribution lines serving production fields when new capital assets are constructed. Ongoing operational costs of optical systems have been proven to be negligible versus alternatives.
