RAS-Extend Smart Antenna Systems deliver long range
networking at speeds up to 100 Mbps to the most challenging end
points: the ones that move
TORONTO, April 10, 2014 /CNW/ - Redline Communications
(www.rdlcom.com) Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of
mission-critical wireless networks, today announced two new
specialized additions to its RAS series of high speed mobile
wireless terminals - RAS-Extend Land Vehicle (LV), and RAS-Extend
Marine. RAS Extend Land Vehicle (LV) delivers high speed network
connectivity to people and equipment in land vehicles operating in
remote areas, while RAS-Extend Marine effortlessly connects
offshore platforms and marine vessels.
"Redline specializes in mission critical wireless networks
- for oil and gas producers, utilities and military - all
users with the most challenging networking needs," said
Bojan Subasic, vice president of
development and production at Redline. "What Redline delivers
with our RAS-Extend is high speed and long range wireless
communications for mobile assets such as ships or maritime drilling
platforms, as well as a system that anyone can use at any time
without specialized training."
The RAS-Extend LV and Marine are the first wireless broadband
networking systems designed to connect mobile assets in remote
locations, by automatically locating and connecting to a network
base station and establishing reliable high speed connectivity. RAS
- which stands for Rapid Alignment System - combines an intelligent
antenna positioning system and integrates it into Redline's
flagship product family, the RDL-3000. These features allow
mobile users in remote areas to maintain wireless connections with
speeds as fast as 100 Mbps and a range exceeding 50 miles (80 km)
from the closest base station.
"Both the RAS-Extend LV and Marine are already in limited use
with customers in the oil and gas industry," added Subasic.
"RAS-Extend LV is bringing connectivity to mobile users in the oil
fields of North Dakota, and the
RAS Extend Marine is allowing vessels to stay in constant contact
with offshore drilling platforms even as they move. They are using
it for a wide range of applications - including real-time M2M
communications, SCADA, high resolution video, Wi-Fi, telephony, sat
comm extension, and backhaul services."
These new RAS systems are built on top of Redline's Universal
Wireless Transport™ (UWT™) platform, the industry's first and only
wireless broadband network solution to operate on any frequency
between 100 MHz and 6 GHz - a range that encompasses virtually all
wireless broadband applications - giving network planners the
broadest range of options to build networks globally.
