With the advent of the digital oil & gas concept there is now an increased requirement for secure communications. A reliable and stable automation network is important for effcient production, limited downtime and effective remote management. All structures and offices throughout the oil & gas complex must have access to real time production data, field device status and other real time communications through a hardwired or wireless network. Traditional SCADA networks monitor and control
the production process while a real time Ethernet backbone manages and transports larger data streams like video and data collection while providing a layer of redundancy and security.
