Consumer demand for energy is expected to rise 40 percent by 2030. More complex product processes, such as oil sands and deep water drilling, have become more attractive due to higher oil prices. As a result, oil and gas exploration companies are increasing frontier production in remote locations, which demand a reliable and robust network communications infrastructure.

By taking a holistic approach to implementing intelligent wireless broadband technology, oil fields that once seemed too expensive or too remote, can now become economically viable.
