How the iNet Pyramid Powers Oil & Gas Operations
Top Layer: Nexora™ — Cloud, AI & Edge Intelligence
- Aggregates data from SCADA, sensors, and video streams.
- Delivers predictive analytics for well performance, equipment status, and site safety.
- Enables real-time visualization of operations across multiple basins or rigs.
Example: AI-based event detection from Axis cameras identifies equipment anomalies or safety events, generating alerts via Nexora dashboards.
Middle Layer: Sentinel™ — Security & Assurance
- Provides cyber and physical network security across field assets and HQ.
- Offers managed firewall, intrusion detection, and NOC visibility
- Integrates directly with CCTV and SCADA systems through SecureLink™.
Example: 24×7 monitoring of network health and security alerts for each rig and production site.
Core Layer: Continuum™ — Enterprise Connectivity Fabric
- LEOConnect™: Starlink and OneWeb for primary broadband across drilling rigs, frac fleets, and offshore platforms.
- SecureLink™: Private L2VPN to route SCADA, voice, and CCTV securely back to corporate networks.
- IntelliPath™: SD-WAN control ensuring high-priority traffic maintains predictable QoS.
A drilling contractor uses iNet Continuum™ to run real-time rig data, video surveillance, and voice communications over Starlink with secure private routing and automatic LTE failover.
