Check out our resourceful communication.
With offshore production fields, exploration sites in the blazing heat and freezing cold, and pipelines traveling through the back of beyond, few industries present such a communications challenge as oil and gas.
But ENCOM’s industrial wireless products were built to withstand the harshest conditions on earth — and are constantly on the cutting edge of wireless technology, which has become the worldwide standard in communications.
Clearly, the communications link tying together the whole process, from wellhead to refinery, must be flexible, reliable and absolutely failsafe. ENCOM’s wireless networks enjoy a bulletproof reputation for seamless, error-free connectivity in the most severe, challenging environments — and provide the perfect communications backbone for the oil and gas industry.
The dedicated nature of ENCOM’s communications network means guaranteed peace of mind in emergency scenarios for our customers, unlike those who rely on public cellular or wired networks in times of trouble. Avoid disastrous results — a pipeline rupture in a remote area, sudden tank overflow, an unco-operative well losing hours or days of production time — with a dedicated wireless network that will relay the critical information when it’s needed.
The robust, steady and reputable point-to-multipoint interconnection of ENCOM’s serial radios, which are protocol ready for various brands of Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), ensures smooth Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), pump off control, valve control and instantaneous monitoring of tank levels.
ENCOM’s future-minded broadband Ethernet-based wireless systems instantly boost data rate, efficiency and capability, and facilitate the introduction of remote video monitoring, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and mesh communication networks. So whether it’s serial or broadband, ENCOM’s industrial wireless systems provide unflinching assistance to our customers in the oil and gas industry — with a bottom-line figure that’s easy on the budget.
ENCOM's serial and broadband products use license-free operating frequencies: 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5.2 GHz, 5.3 GHz and 5.8 GHz.
Why choose an ENCOM solution?
The advantage of ENCOM wireless solutions for the oil and gas industry:
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA): ENCOM’s 5200 Series of serial radios provides instant, reliable connectivity between control centres, wellheads, pump jacks, pipelines and refineries for real-time monitoring and control of important data such as flow, temperature and pressure.
Video surveillance: ENCOM’s 5.8 GHz, license-free broadband radios make video monitoring an extremely powerful security tool. ENCOM COMMPAK BB 58 radios provide a 54 Mbps data transfer rate in a point-to-multi-point scenario, enabling video cameras with pan tilt zoom control (PTZ) to transmit crisp, fluid video images using minimal bandwidth. The result is 24/7 security, from production field to exploration site to pipeline to refinery.
Monitoring and control: ENCOM’s 5200 Series serial radios provide the critical link for instantaneous exchange of data in the areas of valve control, tank level monitoring and pump off control.
Mesh networking: These networks provide an extremely secure, reliable and flexible form of communication for the relay of information from offshore facilities to the mainland and from remote sites along pipelines.
Adaptable serial radios: ENCOM’s 5200 Series serial radios are extremely versatile, accepting any of the known protocols among Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs).
What's in it for me?
The key benefits of an ENCOM wireless solution for our oil and gas customers:
DEPLOY EASILY, EXPAND RAPIDLY
Smooth, simple deployment is a distinct ENCOM advantage. Because our radios operate on license-free frequency bands, they can be positioned and repositioned without licenses or expensive engineering.
- Each ENCOM radio can act as master, remote or repeater, boosting the size and power of your wireless network.
- Mesh networking capabilities provide an extremely secure, reliable and flexible form of communication for the relay of critical information.
- Systems are easy to install, and receive ENCOM’s unwavering support and accurate system design through products such as the EP6500 Site Survey Kit, and the Broadband Site Survey Kit. ENCOM engineers will work with you to determine the optimal approach for your situation.
ENJOY ROBUST, RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
ENCOM’s products were built to shine in even the harshest environmental, topographical and radio-frequency environments imaginable. Dense foliage, building obstruction, high rainfall and snowfall, and extremes in elevation and temperature present no problems for ENCOM’s hardy product lines.
SAVE YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY
ENCOM’s wireless communications systems are far more economical than any hard-wired rivals. According to recent traffic industry studies, trenched copper cable costs as much as 10 times as wireless technology. Buried fiber optic cable can be 15 times as expensive.
MAXIMIZE YOUR PREVIOUS INVESTMENT
ENCOM’s systems integrate with your current network, so your legacy equipment can work within a state-of-the-art wireless system. Your broadband Ethernet-based, future-minded wireless system instantly boosts data rate, efficiency and capability, and facilitates growth, expansion and modernization.
MULTITASK WITHOUT COMPROMISE
ENCOM’s COMMPAK BB units combine the latest in wireless networking technology and advanced network design to allow low-latency communications with multiple data-streams and protocols, and offering the possibility of crisp, fluid CCTV video with PTZ (pan tilt zoom) cameras.
ELIMINATE LEASING FEES AND SUBSTANDARD EQUIPMENT
When you choose a dedicated, wireless system, you eliminate antiquated, unreliable phone-circuit connections, and best of all, no more leased-line bills.
WORK WITH A GREAT PARTNER
ENCOM views its clients as long-term partners, putting an emphasis on service. We take a hands-on approach to your needs — from helping to design your wireless network, performing a terrain analysis, and ensuring radio path viability, to taking every step to maximize your investment now and in the future by considering system expansion, enhancement and modernization.
BE PROTECTED BY SUPERIOR WARRANTIES
Five-year warranties for serial data systems and three-year warranties for broadband systems guarantee you peace of mind and ensure a great return on your investment.
