Cellular Provides Cost-Effective Alternative To Satellite On An Oklahoma LPG Pipeline

摘要

To improve line integrity, the engineering team responsible for this 100-mile LPG pipeline wanted to increase monitoring for some non-critical data points at 12 PLCs along the length of the pipeline. The crux: how to do so when their standardized satellite solution would be cost-prohibitive for these non-critical, low data transfer locations. Without additional monitoring points, they were left with visibility at only three points on the pipeline.
