Oil & Gas Networking: The Digital Transformation
Why is WI-Fi difficult to implement in the Oil&Gas production industry
6
Refineries, FPSO and Rigs in large Terrains and Remote Areas
• Large
• Rural
• Steel
7
Current Situation with Wi-FI
Only Wireless communication in Office Area’s (non ATEX)
ATEX Zone
8
Only connectivity in the Office buildings
No ability to work with networked applications on premises
WI-FI should have to be expanded through the whole terrain
Capacity for inter networking is growing
Current Situation with Wi-FI
9
Possible WI-FI expansion
• Many Access Points
• Most of then ATEX
• Difficult to interconnect
• High Maintenance cost
10
For real time process support, the next generation networks need to have:
• Low-latency
• Ultra-reliable mobile networks to support critical communications.
• The current 4G network has:
• One size fits all topology
• Ability to provide different service levels
• All mobile users are treated the same
• Next generation networks introduced in phases
• Dedicated separate network build to support different network priorities
• No interference with commercial network users on the commercial mobile
network.
Ultra-reliable and Low-latency Communications

Comparison between Wi-Fi and LTE
Function LTE WIFI
Number of masts to cover full area 3-4 Masts 100 AP's 60-65 Masts
Maximum reach per transmitter >3km <200m Now no redundancy in radio coverage
Number of equipment to manage 2 Core, 3-4 Base stations, 600 CPE 100AP, 5 concentrators for roaming, 600 CPE
Maximum Mast length allowed 30m 16m if unlicenced(askAT for advise)
Maximum transmit power allowed per radio 10Watt 100mW for 2.4GHz. DFS needed for outdoor 5GHZ devices
WIFI Access for use of non LTE phones and tablets YES, Every CPE contains WIFI AP Yes
Private Network Yes No, Wi-Fi is unlicensed band
Communication for other equipment (VX9) Yes through eM100 PCIe module Yes, via PCIe WIFI module
Interference from others No, Private frequency licence (>2026)
Yes, incoming Ships with Wi-Fi in 2.4GHz, Radar switches off Wi-
Fi in 5GHz band (DFS), operated drones, Video cams etc all work
on the public WIFI frequency.
Security Yes, Simcard or SoftSIM, maximum safety Yes, WPA2. but hackable.
Easy programmable from the Core Yes Yes, Layer 2 (Devices can be configured separately with a tool)
Max Handovertime from stations <30ms ?
Amount of handovers per minute small (only few accesspoint) very large (many accesspoints)
Maximal througput per CPE 50Mbps 10Mbps (depending on distance to AP)
Manageable with HP Openview SNMP Yes via MIPS Yes via MIPS
Maintenance Few sites to maintain 100 sites to be managed.
Speed moving objects (AGV’s Boats, Drones Can handle upto 100 km/h ( with 5G even faster) Can not reach >30km/h
Redundancy network Operator frequencies 3 channels on 2.4GHz, auto switch over to 5GHz
Reliability High many disturbances
Availability High High - Medium
Lifetime Sysytem Prepared for future Wifi will be replaced in time
Roadmap
New functionality can be easily added (eg Voice over LTE, Video,
broadband data)
If throughput higher, less channels can be used. 8.2.11n vs
802.11g
CPE Stability Doppler effect compensation specialy designed for moving objects No compensation

Handover and Security
• On Premises Calls and Data through company network
• Handover within Company network
• Secured applications allowed to work
• Off Premises Calls and Data through
operator network
• Handover within Operator network
• Secured applications Not Allowed to Work
16
On and off premises applications have to be decided by the Oil Companys. Some adaption may have
to be made through joint innovation program.
After the basic network topology :
• The mechanism to define the traffic routing will be defined.
• The current 4G radio network gets higher QoS assigned to the Client Sim cards .
• This will provide the routing of the connectivity. The routing from the devices to the dedicated
company Core (UGW) will be done by connecting only the Client assign SIM cards to an APN.
All traffic in this APN can be controlled and in this way routed to the on premises UGW that
will allow the local breakout.

• Foundation of the network must be found in the core part of the solution
• RAN will be seen as a NaaS.
• The RAN part is decoupled and on every location the best possible RAN solution
can be selected to optimal serve the business.
• Local Breakout is defined to serve low latency
• All traffic generated on the premises will not be routed through the central core of
the operator but will stay local High Security
• A virtual dedicated RAN network will be included that is created within the
existing 4G (5G) network of the operator
• The traffic generated by the client devices will be routed to the on premises

LTE networks evolving to 5G, can be used to replace high density WIFI networks to
enable always on and seamless integration with mobile Phones, tablets and PC’s
on complete private sites and campus.

Indoor Coverage through LampSite
[Shenzhen, China, March 6, 2018] Huawei has released its next generation
small cell product, the 5G LampSite, which is the first multi-band indoor 5G
Small Cell product to support both 5G NR and 4G LTE. The 5G LampSite can
utilize CAT6A Ethernet or optical fiber cables laid out during 4G LampSite
deployments to realize transitioning to 5G without complex engineering
implementation or changing radio network planning.
