Wireless in pits, refineries, wind farms, and oil & gas sites carries operational and safety weight that office wireless never does — and the environment is actively trying to break the network.
The problem we see
- Distances and terrain defeat assumptions built for in-building or campus wireless.
- Hazardous-location ratings (Class I Div 1/2, IECEx, ATEX) constrain the gear catalog before design even starts.
- Sites are remote enough that integrator rework is operationally expensive — getting it right the first time is the only economic option.
How we approach it
- We design around the hazardous-area classifications first, not last.
- Where private LTE or 5G unlocks coverage that no Wi-Fi extension would reach, we say so.
- We document everything for the safety case, the operator, and the regulator — these sites are inspected.

Have a coverage problem you can describe — but not yet solve?
Request a wireless assessment. An engineer (not a sales rep) will walk through what you're seeing and propose what we'd actually do.
