Organizations with geographically dispersed assets in the field, such as those in the oil and gas industry, would typically select one technology, one source, or one vendor to collect, retrieve and report critical data. Therefore, building large, elaborate wireless communications networks with a single technology was a way a company might demonstrate its decision-makers to consider better manageability, expandability, cost and speed. By integrating various types of telemetry technologies together, it can offer significant benefits that are easily and cost-effectively incorporated into one cohesive data communications network.
Collecting data from multiple locations and delivering it over a widespread area can create challenges that no one technology can overcome alone. Hybrid communications networks can incorporate carious technologies and address key factors such as data security, network speeds, infrastructure costs and on-going costs to meet your specific network objectives.
