Communication Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industries

Going Beyond Radio with Motorola Solutions

When it comes to worker safety, efficiency and production, nothing is faster than right now. Organizations across various energy segments — oil, gas, petrochemical, and mining - are currently juggling a mix of communications solution devices and are hindered by gaps in coverage, poor battery life and fragile equipment that cannot withstand harsh environmental conditions. The power of now puts instant communications at your workers' fingertips - because when communication slows, operation slows.

Unearth Intelligence Driven Mining Communications
A worker above ground needs to communicate with a worker underground. Precious minerals need to be sent to the proper location. Haul trucks, excavators, and loaders are operating at full force creating unwanted noise. Push-to-Communicate with voice and data that instantly connects people, applications and machines across mines for more informed decisions. When you supercharge first-in-class voice communications from Motorola Solutions with the Internet of Things Intelligence, you can connect mining operations beyond everyday push-to-talk for even more optimized operations.



Fuel Intelligence Driven Oil and Gas Communications
From the oil rig to offshore platforms, and everywhere in between, having mission-critical technology at the heart of oil and gas operations is a crucial first step towards increasing safety and operational efficiency. A digital oil rig augmented with Internet of Things intelligence helps drive better and faster decisions that can make all the difference. Efficient wireless voice and data communications help workers offshore and onshore securely reach out and be reached - so emergency calls can get to the right person immediately upon recognition of an issue, no matter the device, no matter the network, no matter the location.

Unified Communications
Providing workers with unified team communications from Motorola Solutions extends the reach well beyond radio and cellular networks, so all devices and networks can be a part of the same conversation. Then augment this unified communications solution with intelligence generated from the Internet of Things, so machine data can now instantly join your critical workgroup conversations as well.

Communications Solutions to Improve Worker Safety, Efficiency and Production

Motorola Digital Radios
When you need direct voice and data communication between your work crews in the field at multiple job sites upgrade your older analog radios to a digital two-way radio network. Motorola digital radios provide instant, reliable communications to specific groups or individuals with added intelligence. When bad things happen, nothing is faster than push-to-talk.

Motorola Solutions' MOTOTRBO is a complete end-to-end solution. MOTOTRBO's extensive portfolio means you can custom-build your construction firm's complete solution, including military spec radios, infrastructure, systems, accessories, applications and services designed around what you need today and in the future.

MOTOTRBO digital two-way radios unify your work crews with instant, always-available communications, anywhere they go. When emergencies arise, from an injured crew member to an equipment breakdown on a job site, two-way radios connect management and crews directly and instantly. Your workforce in the field is no longer subject to cellular overcrowding during inclement weather or an emergency. It's one of several key advantages of MOTOTRBO radios over cell phones.

MOTOTRBO integrates voice and data seamlessly, with enhanced features that are easy to use, including integrated Bluetooth® 4.0, integrated Wi-Fi®, GPS location tracking, text messaging, meets IP standards and military specifications for durability, as well as Intelligent Audio that automatically adjusts the volume to loud construction site environments.

Hazardous Location Certification Transition
f you work in areas that contain flammable or explosive gases, vapors, or dust, it's important to use communication equipment that is certified for use in a Hazardous Location, also known as "HazLoc".

MOTOTRBO™ Radios and batteries certified to TIA-4950 have been available since Q1 2015. They are labeled clearly with the new UL markings.

Video Surveillance and Access Control
Avigilon, a Motorola Solutions company, designs, develops, and manufactures video analytics, network video management software and hardware, surveillance cameras, and access control solutions. Supercharging your utility operations and unified team communications with advanced HD video surveillance systems will help keep your processes streamlined and service levels high. That means electric utility companies can identify where power lines have been damaged in a storm and take swift action, water utility companies can proactively monitor the purity of a city's water supply, and nuclear power plants can ensure their perimeter is more secure than ever. Make guesswork a thing of the past in your utility operations with trusted video intelligence solutions.

Oil Refineries
Monitoring processes for safety and compliance is crucial in day-to-day operations to ensure nothing is missed in mission-critical areas of the plant. Avigilon H4 Pro Series cameras can cover large areas with excellent clarity to ensure all areas are covered with fewer cameras and cabling infrastructure, while video analytics can help detect critical events to avoid potential service interruptions.

Natural Gas
To monitor many miles of natural gas pipelines, Avigilon H4 Edge Solution cameras can be easily deployed across the entire length of the pipelines with minimal connectivity and infrastructure required. The H4-ES cameras use Avigilon's patented video analytics to bring attention to potentially critical events and simplify the solution by encompassing all of the powerful video management tools locally to the camera's onboard storage giving users maximum intelligence at the edge.
