Oil, Wind and Field Production use case
Multi-carrier connectivity for remote sites, production monitoring, vehicles, and field crews.
The sites are exactly where one carrier's map has holes. Field production happens where the network does not. Pads, turbines, and metering points sit miles from the nearest wired circuit, crews drive between them all day, and the equipment reporting back has to reach a system that is somewhere else entirely. Single-carrier service is the wrong tool here, because one carrier's map has holes exactly where the sites are, and failover inside that contract only moves the connection to another tower on the same failing network. A site that cannot report is a site nobody can see. MergeWiFi puts the pads, the vehicles, and the monitoring equipment on all major carriers at once, and selects the strongest one automatically at each location.
Where MergeWiFi deploys
| Application | What it solves | Recommended stack |
|---|---|---|
| Remote Site Connectivity | Primary connectivity at pads, substations, and remote facilities where no wired circuit exists and none is coming. | Max (5G), Unlimited plan, Watchtower, Mount for outdoor and pole mounting |
| Backup Circuit | Failover at staffed field offices and control buildings that do have a circuit but sit far from support. | Max (5G), Unlimited plan, Watchtower |
| Production Monitoring | Telemetry from wellheads, turbines, and metering points, reachable by the remote access and vendor systems that consume it. | Managed IoT with Watchtower, Static IP where remote access requires it |
| Site Cameras | Camera coverage at pads, laydown yards, and gates on sites with no power and no wired network. | Managed IoT SIMs with Watchtower for the camera fleet, Solar camera systems where there is no power |
| Field Vehicles | In-vehicle connectivity and dash cams for pumpers, technicians, and route drivers covering long distances between sites. | Mount for permanent installs, Mini for shared use, Unlimited plan, No Watchtower on Mini |
| Field Crew Devices | Tablets and laptops for technicians and inspectors working at sites a single carrier does not reach. | Mini, Unlimited plan |
Why MergeWiFi
- All-carrier access. One device reaches every major carrier, never limited to a single site contract.
- Automatic carrier selection. Failover moves between carriers, not just between towers on the failing one.
- Zero-trust security. Watchtower enforces security at the SIM, on Watchtower-enabled hardware.
- Fully managed service. Deployed, monitored and supported by MergeWiFi, not by your customer's team.
