Comparison of floor space for 380V communication cabinets in oil fields

Why do oil and gas field communications need high capacity wireless networks?

Oil and gas field communications require reliable and resilient, high capacity wireless networks that operate over large areas under extreme environmental conditions.

Can communications equipment be installed in the same room?

Communications Equipment may be endangered or adversely affected by other services or conditions which may be obvious or hidden within the fabric of the buidling. In particular, water/steam pipes should never be installed directly above or in the same room as Communications Equipment.

How high should a dedicated equipment space be?

The dedicated equipment space also extends from the floor to a height of 6 feet above the equipment or to the structural ceiling, whichever is lower. An example is a 30-foot-high ceiling in a warehouse, with the electrical panel located on an exterior wall. The panel is mounted 6 feet above the floor.

What equipment can be installed in the communications room?

The Communications Room shall house only equipment directly related to the Data Communication system and its environmental support systems. Equipment and services not related to the support of the Communications Room shall not be installed in, pass through, or enter the Communications Room.
