Strategic Deal Cements Long Term Relationship, Allows Oil
Field Network to Double in Size
TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Redline Communications
(www.rdlcom.com Group Inc. TSX: RDL), a leading provider of
broadband wireless solutions for machine-to-machine (M2M)
communications is pleased to announce that one of Redline's first
multi-million dollar oil and gas customers has awarded Redline a
Managed Services contract for their network expansion needs for the
next five years.
Since 2011, when this operator first selected Redline as their
provider of choice for a secure wireless broadband network for
their oil field, their network has grown substantially, creating a
requirement to more effectively manage the network and its future
growth.
Under the terms of this contract, Redline's professional
services team will be managing the network and its growth,
including network design, network roll-out, and the day-to-day
support services to ensure it operates at peak efficiency. Redline
will also commission new links to additional wells and integrate
other applications and services into the Redline network.
"One of our key goals is to develop customer relationships where
we can add long term value - not just with infrastructure but with
services and applications to ensure that our networks adapt to
changing customer needs," said Rob
Williams, Redline's interim CEO. "Our ongoing relationship
with this particular customer is a perfect example of how we
partner, adding more value over time with our Managed Services
offerings."
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is a critical component of this
customer's oil field operation. It relies heavily on real time
remote monitoring and management of thousands of sensors located at
wells and pumping stations spread across thousands of square
kilometers of desert. Redline's ruggedized, secure wireless network
is the backbone of this system, allowing data to flow between the
oil field and the operations center and corporate offices. Redline
Managed Services will ensure that the network operates non-stop and
in the most efficient way possible to deliver the
communications that operators need as their oil field
operation changes and grows. Redline's Managed Services free oil
and gas operators from the day-to-day tasks associated with running
a network, allowing them to concentrate on their business -
efficient oil extraction.
