Novel Approach Secure Site Communications

Abstract

The aim of this project is to study and recommend a a resilient solution for National Gas’ remote operations, considering also harsh operational environments from a communications perspective. A technical study will be undertaken on mobile, hybrid satellite-cellular terminals, compatible with use with batteries, targeting the National Gas operation teams deployed in locations where traditional connectivity options are limited or non-existent. There will be a focus on solutions that integrate cellular and satellite communication technologies suitable for its installation in the operation teams’ vehicles and that can also become a portable terminal for those areas that can only be reached by foot.

In this project we expect to gain a better understanding of the satellite communication technology available and how this can be utilised to find a solution to the connectivity issues our engineers have on-site. The demonstration of this technology as a proof-of-concept will allow us to see if the benefits we expect are achieved. This information will then be shared with the business and wider energy networks for consideration.

The findings from the project will be uploaded to the FEN Portal and will be shared via National Gas innovation social media.
