Achieving stable, high-efficiency communication coverage in extreme environments has long been a major challenge in the industry. Leveraging its deep technical expertise and innovative engineering capabilities, Lintratek successfully completed a fiber optic repeater project in a Gobi Desert oil field, providing reliable communication support for the oil field’s operational areas.
1.Project Background and Challenges
The project was situated in the harsh Gobi Desert, where an approximately 4,000m² mobile signal dead zone within the oil field severely disrupted daily communications and production coordination. The signal source, located about 1.5km away, exhibited weak signal strength (RSRP below -100), rendering conventional signal enhancement methods ineffective. In addition, the desert’s high temperatures, blowing sand, and dramatic day-night temperature variations placed extreme demands on equipment stability and durability.

2.Innovative Solutions and Implementation
Faced with these challenges, Lintratek’s technical team leveraged its in-house R&D and extensive experience in wireless communication coverage, solar power systems, and fiber optic transmission to develop an efficient, reliable solution:
2-1. High-Performance Fiber Optic Repeater for Extreme Conditions
Lintratek deployed a 20W dual-band fiber optic repeater as the signal relay device. Rigorously tested for waterproofing, dust resistance, high-temperature endurance, and anti-aging, this device is designed for long-term stable operation in desert environments. Its low-power design minimizes dependency on the power supply, boosting overall system reliability.
2-2. Solar Power System to Overcome Electrical Supply Challenges
With a lack of power for the near-end module of the repeater, Lintratek innovatively integrated a solar power system. By precisely matching PV panels, energy storage batteries, inverters, and an control system to local solar conditions and system demands, the setup ensures continuous operation—even during two consecutive days without sunlight. This approach not only solves the power issue but also underscores Lintratek’s expertise in merging green energy with communication technology.
2-3. Optimized Antenna Layout for Enhanced Signal Coverage
In an area with few buildings, the team installed two large panel antennas for directional coverage, ensuring uniform signal distribution and eliminating dead zones. With precise adjustments in antenna angles and signal optimization, the RSRP within the site improved to within -90, markedly enhancing communication quality.
2-4. Robust Fiber Optic Installation Process for Long-Term Stability
Desert conditions pose severe risks to fiber optic cables due to sand abrasion and temperature fluctuations. To combat this, Lintratek’s construction team utilized a protective conduit burial method by excavating a 30cm deep trench, installing the fiber within a protective sleeve, and backfilling securely. This technique effectively safeguarded the 1.5 km fiber optic line against environmental stressors.
3.Project Achievements and Customer Benefits
Upon completion, the project dramatically improved mobile signal coverage across the oil field, with RSRP values consistently maintained within -90—fully meeting client requirements. Beyond resolving the oil field’s communication challenges, the project showcased Lintratek’s technological prowess in extreme environment communication engineering. Key highlights include:
(RSRP is the standard value for measuring whether the signal is smooth, generally speaking, it is very smooth above -80dBm, and there is basically no network below -110dBm.
- In-House R&D Excellence: Custom-designed equipment tailored for desert conditions guarantees high reliability.
- Innovative Power Solutions: A solar plus energy storage system ensures stable, off-grid power—ideal not only for oil fields but also for rural areas with limited infrastructure.
- Meticulous Construction Management: From fiber optic installation to antenna optimization, every aspect is engineered for long-term stability.
