MF Satellite Solution
Real-time pressure monitoring for remote and offshore oil and gas locations
MF Satellite offers a comprehensive remote monitoring solution for oil and gas operators working in remote and challenging environments. The solution enables real-time pressure data collection from wells and pipelines using ATEX-certified wireless sensors and a robust ATEX LoRaWAN satellite gateway. This data is securely transmitted via satellite backhaul to a dashboard, providing reliable access to critical information.
The solution package includes 15 pressure sensors, a LoRaWAN gateway, 12 months of satellite airtime, and access to an intuitive cloud dashboard. A solar-powered battery unit ensures continuous power to the gateway, making it suitable for sites without grid connectivity. All components are pre-integrated, allowing for rapid deployment by certified field teams.
The system can monitor up to 10 wellheads or 10 km of pipeline, providing remote visibility into field operations. This reduces the need for manual site visits, enhancing safety and efficiency in hazardous offshore or hard-to-reach environments. The result is improved operational safety and efficiency through proactive monitoring of critical infrastructure.
