Downhole Broadband
Solutions | DBS
Turn the lights on downhole™.
NOV’s Downhole Broadband Solutions removes limits on bandwidth and transmission speeds found with mud pulse telemetry so you can make informed decisions based on real-time downhole data to improve performance, reduce risks, and increase production.
Broadband Network
The network’s backbone is wired drill pipe, which transmits up to 57,600 bps of real-time downhole data, from the bottom of the hole to the surface, at the speed of light.

Measurements along the string provide real-time insights into wellbore conditions to avoid costly events.
Prevent Stuck Pipe events with
clear visibility into hole conditions
and cuttings buildup.
Reduce vibration-induced tool failures by monitoring real-time axial and lateral vibration along the string.
Avoid twistoffs and washouts
by understanding the distribution of torsional and lateral vibration along the string.
Prevent and control wellbore instability with a clear view of wellbore pressures (with or
without flow).
Achieve precise wellbore positioning in the optimal reservoir for maximum production.
Hit the Pay Zone
Accurately determine formation dips and eliminate unintentional reservoir exits with
real-time high-definition multi-tool wellbore imaging.
Stay in the Pay Zone
Use downhole pressure measurements from the production zone to safely push the limits and extend the total depth to capture more of the reservoir.
