Case Study: a pipeline operator achieves reliable, secure pipeline monitoring with Hughes LEO broadband

Pipeline Operator enables 24×7 infrastructure monitoring with Hughes

A pipeline operator faced the challenge of monitoring its vast, remote oil pipeline network with a patchwork of different internet services. This clumsy system was expensive and labor-intensive to manage. The operator selected an enterprise-grade solution from Hughes Network Systems utilizing their managed Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite broadband service to overcome this.

The Hughes solution provided complete, low-latency coverage for the entire pipeline, enabling 24/7 monitoring, immediate anomaly detection for issues like leaks, and a resilient network that minimized service loss. This resulted in the operator being able to assure uninterrupted oil flow, meet environmental compliance standards, and achieve faster response times to problems, significantly reducing potential downtime and its associated costs.
