How Satellite Bridges the Connectivity Gap for Lone Worker Safety in the Oil and Gas Industry

---

Globalstar satellite solutions are being used in innovative new ways on exploration sites, drilling projects and on oil rigs to ensure connectivity for remote workers.

Business Challenge
 
One of the biggest challenges companies operating in the natural resource sector face is the lack of infrastructure and limited access to cellular coverage in remote, harsh environments. These businesses are always looking to the next generation of satellite solutions to bring dependable, fast, coverage to operations and to connect their growing IoT networks.
 
Exploration and production companies, for example, generate volumes of data and need to have a consistent communication link while working on isolated project sites. Oil and gas companies are being challenged to ensure reliable, real-time communications between all sites and control centers in the most cost-effective way possible while maximizing productivity. If these companies are not connected, productivity suffers and the ability to meet regulatory compliance requirements is impaired and it is impossible to ensure worker safety.
 
 
Globalstar Solution
 
Satellite solutions are being used in innovative new ways on exploration sites, drilling projects and on oil rigs to ensure connectivity for remote workers and allow on-site operators to share information from onsite machinery and equipment with head office.
 
In many ways, satellite technology levels the playing field for the resource sector, which previously relied on dated methodologies and technologies to connect people and assets. Globalstar’s SmartOne products are being used for remote sensing, tracking and monitoring of assets such as oil and gas wells, meters, weather stations, etc.
 
Globalstar can customize a satellite IoT solution specific to the business needs of Oil & Gas companies.
