Industrial Private LTE & Wi-Fi: Coexisting

Industrial LTE & Wifi

I often am asked to describe how Private LTE and Wi-Fi would coexist in an industrial company looking at adding Private LTE to its existing Wi-Fi infrastructure.   Since most Industrial Customers ask the question, I decided to summarize thoughts expressed in most of these meetings.   Below are my thoughts.    Let me know if you agree or disagree.

Private LTE Q&A

How do you determine if you have a real, dedicated and secure private LTE enterprise network?

  • You have a Private LTE  IF your enterprise network has;
    • a) its unique & dedicated SIM cards profile and,
    • b) you control the enterprise LTE EPC CORE, the user access and traffic profiles.
  • You do NOT have a Private LTE if you share the SIM card profile with other clients from your service provider and do not have the control of your EPC Core.  at best in this case you have a semi-private LTE network.

Drillers Using Fuel to Power Fracking Operations

A very interesting article from Bloomberg.  However IMO we also have to add that GAS producers for years now have been using Gas Generators and even Termo Electric Generators (TEG) to generate the required electricity at well sites where there is no grid power.  For gas producers of all sizes in the USA and abroad,  Gas or T-E Generators have been a proven way to power well pad process, automation, control, and telecom equipment.   So this article below covers how the industry may migrate from massive mobile diesel generators to serious, serious on-site gas power generation to support fracking fleets! And let’s face it e-Fracking sound more ecologically friendly VS Gas-Fracking.  Never the less for Shell’s Haliburton to adopt it is great news for the O&G industry and the environment!

Mining: How big are these CAT 797F?

Cat 979F

It is the weekend and was talking to a friend of mine, that never had the chance to visit an Open Pit Mine where serious machinery is being used. He had no appreciation for the size of things in such environment.  Perhaps it is the same for you. So here are some numbers.  Many more numbers could be listed, but these will give you an appreciation if you have not had the exposure. If you had the exposure, well… it is still fun to look at!
