Oil, Gas & Energy
Private 5G networks for refineries, offshore platforms, and pipeline infrastructure. Connected worker safety, autonomous inspection, and process monitoring — in the harshest environments.
Refineries, offshore platforms, and pipeline corridors operate in hazardous, remote environments where connectivity is critical for safety and efficiency. Traditional networks can't meet the demands of ATEX-rated zones, autonomous inspection, and real-time process monitoring. Private 5G provides secure, reliable connectivity where it's needed most.
What Private 5G Enables
Secure, reliable connectivity for the most demanding environments.
Hazardous Zone Monitoring
ATEX-certified 5G equipment enables real-time gas detection, leak monitoring, and environmental sensing in classified hazardous zones where traditional connectivity options are severely limited.
Autonomous Inspection
Drones and robots inspect flare stacks, storage tanks, pipelines, and subsea infrastructure over private 5G. Reduces the need for humans to enter confined spaces or work at height — major causes of fatalities in the sector.
Connected Worker Safety
Lone workers on platforms or remote facilities wear 5G-connected wearables monitoring vital signs, gas exposure, location, and fall detection. Real-time mustering during emergencies with sub-metre positioning — even inside metal structures where GPS fails.
Digital Twin & Process Monitoring
Continuous data feeds from thousands of process sensors — temperature, pressure, flow rate, vibration — aggregated into a real-time digital twin. Enables process optimisation, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance across entire facilities.
5G in Energy Today
Private 5G is already operating in some of the world's most demanding energy environments.
Aker BP Edvard Grieg Platform
The world's first autonomous 5G offshore platform in the North Sea, enabling remote operations and real-time monitoring.
Net Zero Technology Centre, Aberdeen
Formerly the Oil & Gas Technology Centre. Funds and supports connectivity solutions for the UK energy sector, based in the heart of the UK's oil & gas industry.
INEOS Grangemouth
Scotland's largest industrial site exploring advanced connectivity for process optimisation and safety systems.
Why Aerix
Enterprise 5G providers focus on the world's largest energy companies with bespoke, multi-million-pound deployments. But refineries, onshore facilities, and energy infrastructure of all sizes need the same connected safety, autonomous inspection, and process monitoring. Advanced wireless connectivity makes these capabilities accessible — managed networks designed for hazardous, remote environments.
