NOCC Overhaul Drives 57% Improvement in Response Times to Reduce
Cost and Improve Margins for ERF Wireless
Network Operation Control Center Gets an Overhaul in the "Three
M's" -- Machinery, Manpower and Money -- the Areas Where ERF
Wireless Is Making Investment to Support the Largest Terrestrial
Network in North America
LEAGUE CITY, TX--(Marketwired - Feb 7, 2014) - ERF Wireless
(OTCQB: ERFB), the operator of the nation's largest terrestrial
wireless broadband network servicing the domestic oil and gas
sector, announced today that its Network Operations Control Center
or NOCC has recently been relocated and undergone a complete
overhaul inside its corporate facility in League City, Texas.
Jay Bilden, Sr. Vice President of Engineering, stated, "We
anticipated a need for a higher degree of operational efficiency in
our NOCC over a year ago. We then began developing transition plans
and upgrades in conjunction with supporting our day-to-day
business. As our business continues to grow, we continue to see
higher demands placed on our infrastructure and personnel. This new
NOCC is now in place to support that future demand. I'm pleased
with the improvement in response times, the professional staff in
the NOCC and the facilities. It actually reminds you of something
right out of a Sci-Fi movie."
Taking cues and examples of how to design and keep critical
communications successful from entities such as NASA is just one
reason why ERF Wireless continues to lead the industry in critical,
remote wireless communications. "We have drastically upgraded our
entire approach to staffing, response metrics and infrastructure
hardware to provide our customer base with real-time information on
critical events," said Chief Operating Officer, Tim Maxson. Maxson
went on to say, "The investments we made over the last half of 2013
have enabled us to respond 57% faster to critical issues inside our
oil and gas and banking sectors. This is a huge improvement to an
already extremely responsive system. I am proud of the engineering
team and the IT department's efforts in pulling this multi-million
dollar effort together on time and on budget."
The team at ERF Wireless has invested significant working
capital into this project as well as consulted with some of the
country's leading NASA resources to design and implement a Network
Operations Control Center that resembles a Mission Control Center
from the Space Shuttle era. Along with the infrastructure
improvements, a team of highly skilled Network Engineers, designers
and provisioning experts have been assembled to form a preventative
iron curtain approach to critical elements of the network as well
as become responsive to any unforeseen issues that may arise. It
truly is a lesson in how to effectively apply the three "M's" when
solving business problems and should lead to increased efficiencies
and improved cash flow as ERF Wireless expands its business in
2014.
