Telemetry architecture for long-distance pipelines: RTUs at compressor stations, LTE/Mesh communications to central SCADA, and automatic failover on link failure, with a reference design for Andean-Amazonian pipelines.
Long-distance pipeline telemetry faces three challenges: extreme terrain (Andean crossings at 4,600m), absence of cellular coverage for hundreds of kilometers, and the need for sub-30-second valve actuation response in emergencies.
The architecture layers three technologies: Robustel R5000 industrial LTE routers as primary RTU gateways (dual-SIM, −40°C rated, built-in VPN), Rajant BreadCrumb 900MHz for backhaul in LTE-dead zones (15-20km per hop at 3-8 Mbps), and a central SCADA in Lima with OT-IT segmentation per NIST CSF. Design targets for a 550km high-jungle pipeline: telemetry availability above 99.9% and remote block-valve closure within the 30-second limit.
