Rugged Redline radios selected for arctic deployment
(Canada Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) -- Redline products outlast competition in extreme weather trials--
TORONTO, March 8, 2012 /CNW/ - Redline Communications Group Inc. (TSX:
RDL) ("Redline" or the "Company"), a leading provider of specialized broadband
wireless solutions, today announced that, after demonstrating
successful operation in a rigorous competitive trial, Redline products
have been selected by GCI Industrial Telecom ("GCI") for an arctic
deployment on Alaska's North Slope.
Arctic operations require that networking infrastructure equipment
operate flawlessly in extreme cold, in temperatures as low as -40
degrees Fahrenheit. Equipment must also demonstrate high reliability
as the cost to repair or replace equipment spread over hundreds of
square miles of remote landscape is extremely high.
"We don't take any vendor at their word" said Rick Hansen, Director of
Engineering at GCI Industrial Telecom, a telecommunications systems
provider for the oil and gas industry. "When we had to deliver a
wireless system to a customer on Alaska's frigid North Slope, we ran
extended tests of equipment from several vendors. At the end of the
trial only Redline's products were still working, and they kept working
for the entire winter."
Thanks to Redline's rugged design, long range, and high reliability, GCI
is now connecting more than 600 users over 1200 square miles - in the
harshest arctic conditions.
At the other end of the spectrum in the Middle East, the same products
are operating in the extreme heat and harsh winds of the desert. Oman
Fiber Optic Co. S.A.O.G ("Oman Fiber") has installed over 2000 Redline
radios in a major oil field in Oman.
"We selected Redline's products because we knew of their reputation for
reliability" said Mr. Al Barashdy, Chief Executive Officer of Oman
Fiber. "The products have operated flawlessly, even as temperatures
have reached over 140 degrees Fahrenheit at times. In harsh
environments like the Middle Eastern desert, having such a reliable
product is critical to realizing a return on investment. Redline's
products have proven themselves, not just on paper but in the real
world of oil and gas."
Redline Virtual Fiber™ products are used to deliver high speed
connectivity for outdoor industrial networks where running fiber optic
cable is not feasible or cost effective. The radios can withstand the
harshest of conditions supporting operating temperatures that meet and
exceed -40 degrees Fahrenheit to +150 degrees Fahrenheit without the
use of heaters or fans, and are IP67 rated for water and dust ingress
protection. In addition, Redline's products are manufactured of
anti-corrosive materials to withstand harsh chemicals and marine
environments throughout its industry-leading lifetime (20+ years Mean
Time between Failure - MTBF).
