If you're in the oil and gas industry, you already know the stakes: every second of downtime, every missed alert, every delay in data could cost millions. It’s an industry where operational precision isn’t just a goal— it’s a survival tactic.
So what’s the solution when your Wi-Fi fails or your public cellular network provided by Verizon, T-Mobile, or AT&T buckles under pressure? Private LTE/5G.
Companies like Metro Wireless are leading the charge in delivering custom private 5G solutions that fit the rugged demands of the oil and gas world.
Oil and gas environments are some of the harshest in the business world. Miles of pipeline, offshore rigs, metal-heavy environments, and safety-critical zones aren’t friendly to standard wireless setups yet require perfect uptime to ensure job site safety.
Wi-Fi doesn’t handle interference well and often needs a mess of access points just to keep up. Public cellular networks, on the other hand, are shared and prone to signal loss— especially in remote or high-traffic areas. You don’t want your safety system lagging because someone else is streaming videos down the road.
Private LTE/5G networks are exactly what they sound like— networks built for your specific needs, with control, coverage, security, and performance unmatched by public infrastructure.
At Metro Wireless, we build end-to-end private 5G and LTE solutions specifically for industries like oil and gas. Our clients gain control over their network, devices, and data— all without relying on third-party carriers.
Private LTE/5G can cover large areas with far fewer access points than Wi-Fi. That means:
Metro Wireless helps our customers deploy private and secure LTE/5G LANs that eliminate the complexity and clutter of traditional networks.
Unplanned outages can cost oil and gas companies up to $1 million per day. With LTE/5G-enabled predictive maintenance, real-time alerts, and constant data flow, you can avoid the breakdowns before they happen.
Metro Wireless solutions support mission-critical communications with guaranteed uptime SLAs.
Replace paper checklists and clipboards with real-time mobile apps on rugged devices and endpoints. Your crews work faster, make smarter decisions, and communicate clearly across massive sites—no more waiting on delayed updates or spotty service.
Private 5G supports high-bandwidth tools like thermal cameras, smart wearables, and video surveillance. In emergency situations, those extra seconds of reliable communication can be the difference between containment and catastrophe.
With Metro Wireless’s private networks, safety systems stay online, connected, and responsive— even under pressure.
Private LTE/5G supports thousands of connected devices— pumps, sensors, valves, meters— and lets AI tools analyze that data in real time. Whether you’re optimizing fuel efficiency or catching early signs of equipment wear, it’s a long-term win.
At Metro Wireless, we don’t just sling wireless— we tailor customized solutions.
We know how to navigate the industrial chaos of the energy sector, and we’ve designed our services to minimize complexity while maximizing results.
Don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all approach. We’ll build RF propagation models for your specific terrain and environment, and then only propose a network that fits your needs, and any future scaling needs.
You don’t have to rip out your existing systems. Our engineers ensure your new 5G network plugs into your current IT and IoT setup.
We design signal paths around steel tanks, heavy equipment, and interference-prone areas.
Metro Wireless supports a certified ecosystem of 5G-ready devices— from rugged tablets to industrial sensors and cameras.
Our networks are built with security and regulatory compliance in mind, including encrypted data, secure access, and isolation from public traffic.
Picture this: an engineer on-site pulls up live schematics, fills out a digital inspection checklist, and sends high-res images— all from their tablet. No waiting. No paperwork. That’s not a luxury— it’s now a baseline.
Private LTE/5G makes the “connected worker” model real, and Metro Wireless gives you the tools to make it scalable across your workforce.
When paired with private LTE/5G, AI can process mountains of sensor data in real-time. That leads to:
Our private LTE/5G networks ensure low latency and high throughput to power even the most data-heavy applications.
Oil and gas is moving fast. If you’re still relying on patchy Wi-Fi or aging wired systems, you're falling behind. Early adopters of private 5G, like those working with Metro Wireless, are already seeing:
With the costs of LTE/5G hardware dropping, adoption is set to skyrocket. Metro Wireless is actively deploying new networks across energy, logistics, and manufacturing sectors— making this technology more attainable than ever.
Don’t wait until your competitors have already made the leap.
Private 5G isn’t just for Silicon Valley. It’s the next big leap for industries that can’t afford downtime, delay, or danger. In oil and gas, where precision matters and failure is expensive, the ROI is crystal clear.
Metro Wireless is proud to be at the forefront of this transformation. If you’re ready to make your operations smarter, safer, and more profitable— we’re ready to help you build the network that can take you there. Reach out to our team at sales@metrowireless.com
