Redline Ships 300th RAS(TM) System to Connect Oil & Gas Drilling Rigs
TORONTO, Dec. 13, 2012, 2012 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) --
Awarding-winning System Brings Mobile Broadband to Oil Fields
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 it has now
shipped over 300 of its RAS wireless nomadic systems, providing
broadband connectivity to oil and gas drilling rigs in the U.S. and the
Middle East.
Oil and gas drilling rigs are increasingly becoming fitted with advanced
networking gear such as Wi-Fi, switches and routers that are used to
connect real time drilling systems, remotely monitor and manage
sensors, connect office applications, deliver video and provide voice
communications. Until recently these rigs were isolated, with only
local communications or slow and/or expensive satellite connectivity.
Redline changed all that with its RAS System, the market-leading
terrestrial mobile broadband solution that delivers extremely secure
wire-like connection quality to nomadic oil field assets such as mobile
offices, well test units, fracking units, and operations vehicles.
RAS's high speed long range connection capability allows rigs to become
part of a larger networked system, connecting them to corporate systems
and the Internet, effectively turning them into ruggedized connected
offices, regardless of whether they are 5 or 500 miles from the
corporate network.
Redline, known for its high speed, highly secure reliable wireless
systems, has become the de-facto standard for communications in very
remote areas, where there are harsh conditions and huge areas to be
connected, and where no other communication system exists or can
operate. The urgent and growing need for reliable high speed
connectivity in these remote areas has resulted in higher than expected
demand for Redline's award-winning Redline RAS nomadic system, the
patented super high-speed wireless system that delivers instant
wireless connectivity when powered up. Introduced commercially only a
few months ago in August 2012, the RAS system has garnered tremendous
support from the industry.
"There is great demand for all of our solutions, and our RAS system
drives a large part of our success in the oil and gas market," said
Eric Melka, Redline CEO. "The drive to network everything has created
this momentum, and as our RAS enables networking companies to reach the
tens of millions of networked devices located in remote areas, we see
no signs of this letting up. We intend to help connect everything,
everywhere."
The RAS system was engineered for the unique networking requirements
associated with operating in remote areas, such as oil and gas fields,
military deployments, and utility applications. Its solid state antenna
was specifically developed to eliminate moving parts, enhancing its
ability to withstand shock, extended periods of vibration and almost
any weather condition. Requiring no special training to operate, the
software-defined RAS system enables multiple applications from a single
vehicle or rig, including real-time M2M communications, SCADA, high
resolution video, Wi-Fi, telephony and backhaul services.

productive, see the Company's blog post on RAS use on Oil Rigs. For more on the Redline RAS Nomadic system, see the Company's website.
