Oil and gas customers work in some of the world’s harshest and most inaccessible environments. Our fail-safe solutions meet the high demands for voice and data communication that these conditions require.
Our solutions for the oil & gas industries are based on DAMM TetraFlex solution that combines decades of leadership with cutting-edge digital radio and broadband communications to create a simple, yet reliable solution that is easy to deploy and maintain.
requirements
Needs of the oil and gas industry rely heavily on reliability and safety. Remote locations and connectivity to upstream and downstream ensures that the solution is scalable and flexible. The solution must cater for onshore and offshore communication.
Major objectives for Oil and Gas companies are to maintain production and ensure continuous operation. This requires a broader awareness of field assets, the ability to access increasing amounts of voice and data communication from multiple locations and deliver actionable information to numerous stakeholders in order to meet the following industry goals:
Key requirements for oil & gas industry are :
- Ensure reliable and safe operation
Today’s oil and gas companies need fail-safe connectivity to operate safely and efficiently in an increasingly demanding and regulated environment. - Enhance operational flexibility and efficiency
By ensuring instantaneous communication from users in different departments and processes at various locations across the oil & gas facilities. Seamless communication within and across departments ensures maximum efficiency of operations.
- Next gen applications for control room and field workers
Modern communication system must support the need for next generation application for communication room and field workers. - Safe, secure and high availability
Need for the proposed solution to provide redundancy, reliability and security of communication. - Interoperable and multi-vendor support
The proposed solution must be fully interoperable and be standardized for multi-vendor environment. - Upgrade by interconnection to broadband
The proposed solution integrate with modern broadband communication network such as WIFI and LTE for supporting data applications.

benefits
The oil and gas industry is undergoing a major shift for need of reliable communication solution. Consort Digital solutions provide significant benefits for oil and gas industries. These solutions ensure vastly improved operational efficiency and security of the users.
Key benefits of our communication solution include –
- Plug and play design – easy deployment and scaling up of mission-critical solution. System administrators can integrate all network components, including base stations, dispatchers, network management facilities and external gateways at any time, even while the system is in operation.
- Lower operating costs – The solutions are based on DAMM TetraFlex that offers plug-and-play simplicity for easy setup and fast deployment. The compact design of the DAMM outdoor base station enables direct mounting on antenna masts, buildings and towers, reducing feeder loss and installation costs considerably. Both the indoor and outdoor base stations offer extremely low power consumption, and thanks to the IP65 encapsulation, the outdoor base station doesn’t need any external air-conditioned housing. DAMM TetraFlex is developed with flexibility and user-friendliness at the core, saving substantially on training and project costs.
- Low maintenance – extremely high reliability ensures low maintenance costs thereby reducing total cost of ownership.
- Integration to other plant communication systems – The solution integrates through standard interfaces such as SIP to other plant communication systems.
- Integration to legacy systems – Allows for simple integration to legacy wireless and wire line communication systems.
