Mobility solutions are been specifically used for transferring field data to the downstream office for analysis. Despite the omnipresence and reliability of network coverage, oil and gas activities are frequently outside the service range available from most of the wireless providers. Thus, there is an increasing need to develop and deploy mobility solutions across the oil and gas industry to increase operational effectiveness. Comprehensive mobility solutions make it easier to extend support to drilling and production locations, even in geographically challenging or remote areas. These enhanced functionalities enable mobility solutions to function in a bidirectional manner improving efficiency as well as managing resources optimally.

Mobile workforce solutions are supported by real-time infrastructures that can drive significant improvements in operational efficiency when working in challenging areas such as offshore locations or remote mountain ranges. The workforce solutions capture augmented field data and facilitate communications that are important to support complex operational processes and activities required due to topography, geological formations, or oil density. Equipped with their mobility solutions, oil and gas field staff is able to perform processes like managing work schedules, remote management, prompt guidance and problem-solving, decision-making with real-time data and environmental, health, and safety data.
