4. Jamming threat to O&G wireless links
For communication, Oil & Gas offshore platforms deploy Point to Point Digital
Microwave, VSAT links, Troposcater links & VHF Audio links
Signal Jamming is a significant threat which cause the breakage or disruption of
the wireless link between the platform and the outside world
Enforcement Agencies like Police & Customs report that crime syndicates are
already using Jammers to thwart enforcement operations
All types of Jammers are easily available now. FBI considers Jamming as a bigger
threat than the Viruses, Worms and Trojans in a Wireless world.
As petroleum assets are becoming increasingly important , proactive measures
should be taken to alleviate any threat to its operation
Signal jamming is quite disastrous to an O&G platform as there is no wireline link
as back up
.
SIGNAL JAMMING already reported by SECURITY AGENCIES
It is a REAL THREAT to any WIRELESS INFRA
Any disruption to the communication from the platform causes
Reduced production, loss of revenue
Increased security vulnerability and
Overall reduced operational efficiency
5. Jamming threat to O&G wireless links
Jammers with directional antennas have a
very long reach
Multiple types of jammers easily available in the market
Wideband/ multi band jammers are becoming more common
VHF/Microwave jammers are quite low cost jammers
Jamming is a low tech, low cost yet highly disastrous threat
6. Jamming of the Digital Microwave link
OFDM based WiFi / WiMAX links and
Proprietary ( QAM, QPSK ) links are
extremely vulnerable
These links are not designed for anti
Jamming. Simple Transmitters in the same
frequency can break the links easily
High level of vulnerability to the signal
jamming threat
Needs a Jam Proof back up link for
withstanding a jamming threat
A Jamming attack could be conducted from the land or from the sea by using directional
antennas
Jamming attack from a moving platform ( Car or a boat ) is almost impossible to locate
A land based low power jamming source ( in 10s of Watts) with a directional antenna can bring
down the land based Radio terminal easily.
The commercially available modems employing QAM, OFDM or similar techniques are highly
vulnerable to signal jamming. Even a low level of jamming is able to break the link completely.
7. Jamming of VSAT Links
VSAT links are highly vulnerable due to the low received power
Low power seaborne jammer or high power land based jammer to break the link
Jammers for satellite links are available in the market
Due to the jamming threat, new satellites being designed are going to be provided
anti jamming.
8. •Jamming the Troposcater & VHF links
Troposcater links are highly vulnerable
VHF, HFIP , Troposcater links are not designed to withstand interference
Low power jammers can bring down these links
9. TRIATA : JAM PROOF MICROWAVE LINK
Polarizone has developed a Jam Proof Digital
Microwave link called TRIATA.
This novel product is based on a Patented anti-
jamming wireless communication technology called
Pseudo-random Polarization Hopping.
TRIATA Wireless link is capable of withstanding all
types of jamming attacks.
TRIATA has proven to be effective against the most
deadly Jamming systems used even in Military
applications.
First Jam Proof Digital Microwave
Range : 1 km – 50Km
Frequency: 2.4 GHz, Customizable to any
band
Capacity: 64 kbps to 2 Mbps
Interfaces: E1/T1, Ethernet, USB, RS232c
Modulation : 2 in 2 out MIMO with Space
Time Code for anti jamming
Architecture: SDR
10. Jamming resistance comparison between TRIATA and other links
TRIATA Link DOES NOT break
Jamming signal 10dB stronger than
Triata link signal
TRIATA Link DOES NOT break
TRIATA Link signal before jamming TRIATA signal flooded by high power jamming signal
Jamming signal 30 dB below the link signal of a
normal Microwave link ( OFDM, QAM, QPSK etc )
Normal Links BREAK even when the jammer
signal is well below the link signal
Normal links does not have anti jamming features
Normal links break easily
Normal link signal with a very low power jamming signal
11. Conclusion
Existing O&G wireless links are vulnerable to Jamming threat
Signal Jamming is not a perceived threat anymore
Law enforcement agencies are reporting jamming attacks
A jamming attack on O&G links will result in
Reduced production, loss of revenue
Increased security vulnerability and
Overall reduced operational efficiency
Normal Digital microwave links are not Jam proof
TRITA is the only JAM PROOF Microwave link in the market
TRITA offers the highest level of survivability and security to the O&G links
