WHAT: What is the 700 MHz Spectrum in my World and How Can I Get it?
(Brent McAdams)
Mission-critical processes are measured by their ability to
meet uptime and performance requirements, especially with
wireless. Carrier-grade wireless equipment and 700MHz licensed
high-speed spectrum is now available, for the first time, to
deploy for gas measurement communications. The 700 MHz
licensed spectrum (versus unlicensed) provides a predictable
RF environment protected from external interference, thus
improving control over band management, security and speed. In
addition, it provides privacy and extraordinary propagation.
As a result, the broad propagation characteristics reduce the
number and height of towers needed, resulting in a more cost-
effective deployment. Now, new technologies are being
introduced specifically for use in this spectrum. This paper
will explore these technologies and offer participants a
hands-on look on how to effectively deploy them.
Leveraging Hybrid Wireless Systems (Jim Gardner)
Companies with large geographically dispersed remote networks
in the oil and gas industry can select one technology, one
source, one vendor to collect, retrieve and report data to
assess the health of the network. Sometimes, this type of
approach makes sense. However, other times integrating other
types of technologies offer significant benefits that can
easily and more cost-effectively be incorporated into one
cohesive network. This presentation will provide attendees
with specific ways they can set up and deploy hybrid networks
to drive maintenance/monthly costs down - directly impacting
their bottom line; decrease polling cycle times; reduce the
time needed to identify and rectify problems within the
network; and, eliminate system "pinch points" - or single
points of failure.
