Redline Communications announces updates to its Private LTE (iLTE™) product portfolio
Redline's iLTE™ is the industry's most comprehensive offering to address private LTE networks for industrial and specialty service providers
HOUSTON, Oct. 3, 2018 /CNW/ - From OilComm 2018, Redline Communications Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of wide-area wireless networks for the most challenging applications and locations, today announced significant enhancements and additions to its iLTE™ product family, the company's Private LTE Infrastructure solution. This comprehensive product suite, built upon the 3GPP LTE mobility standard supports an extensive range of features. The products have also been deployed in mixed LTE vendor environments and demonstrated the ability to interoperate with other vendors. iLTE™ has also been used to connect industrial and commercial handsets, mobile routers and IOT devices in demanding environments such as offshore Oil & Gas and underground mining operations.
Harbor Research's paper "The Private LTE Opportunity for Industrial and Commercial IoT" estimates that there are more than 14.5 million sites globally in which private LTE networks could be deployed. These include military bases and warehouses, hospitals, power generation companies, industrial and manufacturing facilities and Oil & Gas and mining operations. Service Providers (WISP's), working to bridge the digital divide, are in addition to this number.
"We are in a unique position in the market with our comprehensive LTE offering. Redline's complete private LTE infrastructure solution includes a full complement of hardware, software and Advanced Services helping our customers and partners build an easily manageable wireless infrastructure," stated Robert Williams, Redline's CEO. "This is a very exciting time for the company as we see industrial verticals including Oil & Gas, Mining, Electrical Utilities and Transportation looking to migrate from legacy networks to dedicated private LTE in order to deliver enterprise services. On the Service Provider side, this solution offers a very compelling ROI for specialized industrial or rural Service Providers focused on the digital divide."
Redline iLTE™ customer Ted Bajno, from Baffinland Iron Mines Corp stated, "Redline worked with us to understand our needs and delivered a standards-based solution to fit our requirements and could stand up to the harsh climate of the high Arctic. Redline offered the entire end-to-end solution, which simplified and streamlined the whole deployment process. We put our faith in Redline at the outset, and a year later, with the network deployed, they fully delivered on their promise and have been with us every step of the way. The network is running beautifully, and we continue to work with this team expanding our network."
