Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling communication of data in a communications network within a well environment 100 comprises a computer processor configured to: analyse previously recorded well parameter data recorded in the and/or one or more further well environments; determine, based on the analysed well parameter data, by e.g. a regression analysis machine learning algorithm, a communication protocol for a node, 112a-d, of the communications network; and upload the communication protocol to the node. When deployed in the well environment, the node is configured to transmit and/or receive communications signals to/from one or more further nodes in the communications network using the determined communication protocol. The choice of protocol may be based on noise data in signals at a time corresponding to the previously recorded data. The node may comprise a transmitter and/or receiver and one or more sensors for sensing well parameters and may control transmission based upon the protocol and the sensed well parameters.
