TORONTO, Oct. 15, 2014 /CNW/ - Redline Communications
(www.rdlcom.com) Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of
mission-critical wireless networks for the oil and gas industry,
today announced that it has received a contract to provide a
high-speed wireless network for a digital oilfield owned and
operated by a "super-major" oil company – one of the five largest
publicly-owned global oil and gas companies. This is the second
super-major oil company to deploy Redline as the field telecom
solution of choice into their digital oilfield operations.
Redline will be providing a robust high speed wireless network
that will enable advanced automation within their oilfield. Using
the Redline Virtual Fiber™ network infrastructure, data can be
collected in real-time from sensors at hundreds of wells operating
in this oilfield and delivered to a central location for analysis
and action. Having centralized and timely information about well
performance allows the operator to maximize uptime and optimize
output. Controlling sensors remotely over the network means that
necessary adjustments to well operations can be made without the
time, cost and risk of sending a person to the well(s) to make
manual adjustments.
This oil and gas operator selected Redline after conducting
rigorous in-field tests to ensure that Redline could deliver the
power, versatility and reliability required for a mission-critical
field network. The Redline system will replace an existing
3rd party WiMAX system and will be fully installed
before the end of 2014. In addition to this full field deployment,
pilot projects with Redline equipment are underway in other
oilfields owned by this super-major.
"The energy producers market is a small community, whose members
are increasingly using Redline's purpose-built wireless networks to
power their digital oilfields," said Louis
Lambert, vice president oil and gas sales for Redline. "We
enjoy proving our solution in the customer's actual environment,
and we're pleased to deliver a solution that exceeds their
expectations and those of other major and super-major oil
companies."
Redline Virtual Fiber™ network systems give oil and gas
customers industry-leading network range and speeds and the lowest
latency of any similar wireless systems, operating more like fiber
optic networks which are too costly and impractical for most oil
and gas applications. These network attributes mean Redline
equipment can be used for a wide range of applications in the
oilfield, including real-time drilling, machine-to-machine (M2M)
communications in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, SCADA
networks, real-time video surveillance and video collaboration,
business systems and collaboration applications, as well as voice
and data communications.
