IP networking in the Canadian oil and gas industry

Canada’s oil and gas industry is tapping into advanced Internet Protocol (IP) communications networks as an integral component of their mission to reach hydrocarbons in increasingly remote locations as quickly and as safely as possible. More than any other sector, oil and gas firms in Canada send teams far beyond the reach of legacy communications infrastructure, and the nature of their connectivity requirements have triggered them to adopt IP network products and services that will offer greater management of bandwidth to support real-time applications in a highly secure manner. Unified communications as a service (UCaaS), SIP trunking and managed services allow oil and gas companies to minimize operational risk while improving productivity among field crews, achieving industry compliance with regulations and enhancing collaboration from headquarters to project crews almost anywhere.
