Connectivity Gaps Are a Critical Risk in Energy Operations

Secure, reliable, and interference-free private 5G and LTE for the energy sector’s most demanding environments, from LNG facilities to refineries, midstream sites, and nuclear facilities.

The Industry's Challenge

Oil, gas, and energy facilities operate across vast, remote, and often hazardous footprints where reliable connectivity is not a convenience; it is a safety and operational imperative. Connecting SCADA systems, remote sensors, smart meters, and IoT devices without interference, without dependence on public carrier networks, and without extensive fiber infrastructure has long been one of the sector’s most persistent challenges.

Traditional connectivity options consistently fall short. Wi-Fi degrades in heavy metal environments and requires an impractical number of access points across large industrial sites. Public carrier networks introduce security exposure and are unreliable in remote or offshore locations. Satellite connectivity carries high latency and cost, typically not fit for multiple devices spanning an entire site with congestion during an emergency. Fiber buildouts are expensive, time-consuming, often over a year to deploy, and inflexible as site layouts evolve. The result is that most energy operators are stitching together multiple imperfect solutions and still ending up with gaps.

THE SOLUTION

GXC: Purpose-Built Private Cellular for Energy Infrastructure

GXC is an end-to-end private 5G and LTE network built specifically for mission-critical industrial environments. Our robust network management platform, along with patented Cellular Mesh technology used on certain projects, delivers continuous, secure coverage across an entire energy facility, including areas where fiber, LAN, and public carrier signals are unavailable or inadequate.

Unlike conventional private wireless deployments that rely on fixed infrastructure and public spectrum, GXC's solution is self-healing, mobile, and rapidly deployable. Bring your network online in days, not months, and reconfigure it as your site evolves without costly re-engineering.

Refinery Deployment: Two mesh nodes minimized network infrastructure and provided coverage through dense process units and pipe racks, enabling real-time monitoring of critical assets for safer, more efficient operations. GXC was able to utilize existing radios from another vendor, expanding the network.

Owning Your Cellular Network in Your Facility

What Makes GXC Different

GXC provides a private cellular network, where the distinction matters most in environments like yours, e.g., site footprints are expansive, infrastructure is sparse, and downtime is never an option. GXC can expand the network in difficult-to-reach environments or as the site expands to fit the project’s needs.

Patented Cellular Mesh Architecture

No single point of failure. Coverage extends automatically across your site without extensive LAN or fiber as a prerequisite and is done with only a power source.

Network Mobility

Relocate or repurpose the network as facilities and project phases change, without starting over.

Cost Effective Solution

Achieve lower total cost of ownership and enhanced ROI with GXC’s Private 5G. These solutions are not only more cost-effective to implement but also maintain lower operational costs than traditional Wi-Fi.

Added Benefits
