Abstract

A system comprises primary and secondary wireless networks, at least one interconnection point 3 between the networks and at least one sensor 4 comprising means for sensing at least one of an oil or gas wellhead pressure, flowrate and temperature and a node of the secondary network, the primary network being a multipoint meshing radio network. The networks differ in at least one characteristic, which may be their range or frequency. The system may deliver information to a gathering point 6. Transmitters and receivers in either network may use a combination of battery and solar power and the sensor may switch off its network node when not in use. Nodes 2, 3 in the primary network may contain GPS receivers used to aid routing of information across the primary network and to provide timing information to synchronise sensors in the secondary network. The sensors may comprise a memory to store measured data before its transmission.
