Redline Communications Brings Cost Efficiencies to the Oilfield with $2.6 Million Wireless Network Win

TORONTO, Jan. 8, 2015 /CNW/ - Redline Communications (www.rdlcom.com) Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of mission-critical wireless networks for the oil and gas industry, announced today that it has received a $2.6M contract for the first phase of a wireless network that is expected to bring cost-saving automation to hundreds of oil wells in an oilfield in the Middle East.

Redline's newest customer, one of the largest oil producers in the region, will be implementing an advanced production monitoring and control system to make oil production more productive and efficient. They will use Redline's wireless network solution to provide the real-time connectivity that makes these bottom line benefits possible.

Advanced process and control automation systems connect sensors at every well, making ongoing status updates on production available to people and systems at remote locations. It also brings the ability to remotely and in real-time change an increasing number of production parameters to optimize production rates almost instantly. This eliminates the need to send people into the field to physically check well sites for problems, in turn minimizing downtime and increasing operational safety. With the ability to change parameters at the well sites remotely over Redline's wireless network, operators can continually optimize production quickly and without adding additional costs.

"We're pleased to see Redline providing the network infrastructure for yet another digital oilfield," says Rob Williams, Redline CEO. "Our customers continue to benefit from the resulting productivity, efficiency and safety gains that translate directly into financial savings. Delivering measurable bottom line benefits is even more critical in these times of lower oil prices."

Redline makes oilfield automation possible by providing the network infrastructure needed to realize improved efficiency and productivity. Once fully deployed, a Redline network delivers a ubiquitous umbrella of connectivity, converting the field operation into a truly digital oilfield and bringing the operator real-time visibility and remote control of their production assets. Equally important, the Redline network has the capacity to grow with minimal additional costs as the oilfield grows. This translates into a cost-effective system for the long term.

Redline couples powerful and reliable wireless technology with a deep knowledge of the oil and gas industry to deliver a single secure and reliable network infrastructure that is powerful enough to simultaneously accommodate the distances, capacity and the many application types required for the oilfield. This includes voice, video, SCADA, M2M, Wi-Fi and other data.

With a proven track record that includes dozens of successful large scale digital oilfield installations, Redline, an ISNetworld™ member company, has deep expertise in turnkey wireless network delivery for oil and gas, with purpose-built products and oilfield-ready, HSE-certified professionals. Redline's end-to-end solutions for oil and gas include planning, engineering and delivery services along with ruggedized products to deliver a complete network solution that can operate effectively throughout the entire life cycle of an oilfield.

Delivery of the Redline network is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2015 and be completed before the end of the year.
