The systems are very often grouped in four main areas:

1. External communication
External communication
systems interconnect
installations and link them to
the surrounding world -
carrying voice, video, process
control and safety system
traffic necessary to allow
uninterrupted safe operations
of the facility. With today's
solutions and technologies,
distance is no longer an issue and bandwidth is available as needed, either
on demand or fixed. This opens up for new ideas and opportunities to reduce
operational costs in the industry.

2. Internal communication
Internal telecommunication systems play a
major role in supporting day-to-day operations
and improve the working environment. They
allow any type of system or operator to
communicate within the facility, enabling
reliable and efficient operations.
