IT Infrastructure Built for Industrial Scale
AOP delivers fiber connectivity, managed IT, and cybersecurity to LNG facilities, petrochemical plants, and industrial operations across the Gulf Coast — backed by our own fiber network and 30 years of regional expertise.
The IT Challenges Industrial Operations Face
Industrial IT isn't just about bandwidth — it's about reaching remote sites, securing operational technology, and keeping critical systems running around the clock.
Remote Site Connectivity
Industrial facilities are often miles from the nearest fiber POP. AOP builds and owns underground fiber routes to remote sites that other providers can't or won't reach.
Operational Technology Security
SCADA systems, PLCs, and industrial control networks require isolation from IT networks. AOP designs segmented architectures that protect OT without disrupting operations.
Uptime Requirements
When a plant goes offline, the cost is measured in minutes — not hours. AOP provides redundant fiber paths, failover connectivity, and 24/7 NOC monitoring with under-15-minute response.
Multi-Site Coordination
LNG projects span fabrication yards, construction camps, and production facilities. AOP connects every site with dedicated fiber and managed networking — one provider, one contract.

Industrial & Energy IT — Frequently Asked Questions
- Can AOP run fiber to my industrial site?
- Yes. AOP builds and owns underground fiber routes throughout Southwest Louisiana, including to remote industrial facilities, LNG terminals, fabrication yards, and construction sites. If your facility is in our service area, we can build dedicated fiber infrastructure to reach it — even in locations where traditional providers have no presence.
- How do you handle IT/OT network segmentation?
- AOP performs a dedicated security assessment of your industrial environment and designs network architectures that isolate operational technology (SCADA, PLCs, ICS) from IT networks using separate VLANs, subnets, and firewall rules. Both sides are monitored 24/7 by our NOC and SOC, but traffic between IT and OT is strictly controlled and logged.
- What uptime guarantees do you offer?
- AOP provides carrier-grade SLAs with 99.99% uptime on dedicated fiber connections. For critical facilities, we offer redundant fiber paths over diverse routes. Our NOC responds to critical alerts in under 15 minutes — because in industrial operations, downtime is measured in dollars per minute.
- Do you work with construction and temporary sites?
- Yes. AOP provides temporary fiber connectivity and managed IT services for construction camps, fabrication yards, and project offices. We understand that LNG and industrial projects have phases — we scale infrastructure up and down as your project progresses.
- How quickly can you deploy to a new site?
- Managed IT services (networking, security, endpoints) can be active within days. Fiber construction timelines depend on distance, permitting, and right-of-way — typically 4 to 12 weeks for new fiber builds. We work with your project timeline and can provide interim wireless or leased-line connectivity while fiber is being deployed.
