Redline Communications Group Inc. reported the successful completion of the first phase and the launch of a larger second phase of a major wireless project for Shell Oil joint venture Petroleum Development Oman LLC (PDO).

In November 2010 Redline announced that PDO had selected Redline to supply a wireless communications infrastructure to meet their goal of having a full bi-directional communication-integration between the corporate layer and the field layers for their oil and gas fields. Over 2000 of the 5000 oil wells in their Oman location are now connected wirelessly using Redline equipment to a centralized site where they are monitored and managed remotely, M2M in real-time, eliminating the need to have workers drive from well to well to collect critical operating information and make changes to optimize the system.

Redline’s RDL-3000 and AN80i broadband radios, powered by SmartLINK software, are the cornerstone of the PDO system. They operate in point-to-multipoint configurations, allowing many units in the field to communicate over long distances to a smaller number of base stations which improves the cost effectiveness of the system. The Redline technology has extremely large capacity which supports multiple types of machines communicating over the wireless network simultaneously. SCADA systems, RTUs, video surveillance cameras and Wi-Fi hotspots are all connected over the wide area Redline network, with the more important communications such as control over the well heads getting priority treatment.

Data and information now flow seamlessly between more than 2000 oil wells and the central control location, providing a full picture of what is happening in the field and how it is impacting the finances of the oil field operator. In addition to connecting well heads, rigs and semi-mobile units are also now wirelessly connected using Redline products, allowing person to person communications and access to corporate systems regardless of location.
