-- Deal with Major South American Oil Producer Expands
Redline's Global Footprint--
TORONTO, April 30, 2013 /CNW/ - Redline Communications
(www.rdlcom.com Group Inc. TSX: RDL), a leading provider of
broadband wireless solutions for machine-to-machine (M2M)
communications, today announced that their rugged industrial
wireless system was chosen to create a wireless infrastructure for
a major oil producer in South
America.
As in other parts of the world, the oil & gas industry in
South America has turned to
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques to increase production,
safety, and to reduce the environmental impact in their mature oil
fields. Key to the success and safety of these field
enhancements is the need for secure and reliable high speed IP data
networks - a network with more performance than could be delivered
using satellite.
Redline's powerful wireless infrastructure system, already in
use in dozens of oil fields in the USA and the Middle
East, will connect hundreds of access nodes, which in turn
will link thousands of M2M devices across a 230 square mile (596
square Km) oil field in the tropical jungles of South America. The system will be
capable of delivering the increasingly high performance
requirements that these complex networks require, and is able to
accommodate virtually any networked device or application, not just
today but in the years to come.
"We are thrilled to be providing a wireless solution for our
first major oil field in South
America, and we expect that it will be one of many for this
customer as they have several fields in the region," said
Carl MacKinnon, vice president
Worldwide Sales. "This win is part of our stated growth plan:
develop relationships with new customers to prove the value of our
networks, expand with them in the same field as more services and
connectivity is needed, then expand to other fields and eventually
offer more products and services to them as we learn more about
their unique needs."
This customer is Redline's first major oil and gas installation
in South America. It is also
this customer's first oil field to be powered by Redline's wireless
solution, and the Company is working to ensure that it is the first
of many.
Redline's advanced wireless broadband system, which leads the
industry in reliability, distance, capacity and low-latency, allows
personnel to securely remotely monitor and control oilfield
production - including the ability to capture data in real time
from thousands of M2M sensors at remote sites.
The Virtual Fiber™ network will be built using Redline's nomadic
RAS platform, RDL-3000 and eLTE-MT systems. All are rugged,
reliable and secure wireless broadband equipment designed by
Redline for harsh environments, in this case a remote desert with
large shifting sand dunes, and engineered and built to the exacting
standards required by the energy sector.
Redline's Virtual Fiber network system offers the ability to
instantly adjust to the living oilfield as a whole -- from
individual well production, to drilling rigs, to the pressure of a
part or all of the reserve itself -- based on a variety of sensor
data, including pressure, temperature, and flow. This capability
allows the oil company to optimally run each well or each drill,
maximizing drilling efficiency and uptime while minimizing
breakdowns from drilling too quickly through hard rock or other
obstacles that could hamper the drilling activity. This
communication ability also moves with the drilling rigs, with
Redline's RAS system delivering instant secure communication
without any system realignment, even as the units move from
location to location.
