Oil & Gas Wireless WAN

Reliable enterprise-grade connectivity for remote oil & gas operations that keep oil & gas crews safe, operations efficient, and assets compliant with Hughes Wireless WAN.

 

Harsh Environments, High Stakes

Oil and gas operations are rarely situated in easy-to-reach places. Exploration sites push deeper into deserts, offshore rigs sit hundreds of miles from the coast, and refineries must run 24/7 without interruption. These environments demand networks that are as resilient and adaptable as the operations they support.

High-risk, remote, and compliance-heavy conditions mean communication links must remain reliable no matter what. Any disruption can slow productivity, compromise crew welfare, or put regulatory reporting at risk.

With so much at stake, many oil and gas operations rely on a secure, hybrid approach to connectivity.

Hughes Wireless WAN combines terrestrial and satellite technologies to deliver trusted coverage across even the most remote and rugged sites.
