The introduction of advanced computer hardware and software technology as well as wireless communications have enabled huge gains in both productivity and safety while reducing maintenance and downtime in oil sands operations.

Similar to battlefield situations, oil and gas operations consist of multiple vehicles, equipment, and personnel, dispersed across rugged terrain - all of which require constant, reliable highbandwidth connections while on the move. Such sites require interconnected wireless networks that allow loader trucks, shovels, pumps, laptops, and other production equipment to communicate with each other in real time. Continuous production and safety mandate unwavering network availability - 24x7x365 uptime in all corners of the facility.
