In a bid to shore up operations with subcontractors in its remote
oil fields, a leading oil company has turned to Wireless Matrix
(TSX: WRX) to provide GPS location data and communications for an
initial 200 subscribers.
Challenged in obtaining real-time GPS data for tracking workers
in remote operational areas, the company selected Wireless Matrix
for their integrated cellular and Wi-Fi communication platform and
real-time data integration with back office systems. Under the
terms of the agreement, Wireless Matrix will provide the company
with integrated communications via the Communicator 300 device, as
well as a data feed to the company's custom dispatching
application.
The Communicator 300 will provide integrated GPS location data
via cellular and Wi-Fi communications in supported areas. The
Communicator 300 also provides the option for field upgradable
satellite connectivity via the Wireless Matrix Satellite Data Modem
5000. This multi-mode option further eliminates out-of-coverage
areas, allowing location data to be obtained throughout deployment
areas.
In addition, the company will benefit from a web services data
feed from Wireless Matrix's FleetOutlook vehicle management
application. The data feed will seamlessly populate the company's
in-house dispatching application with real-time vehicle location
and status information.
"The selection of our solution by a major oil company
illustrates the value placed on a single communication device
capable of cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity, and field-upgradable,
should the need for satellite back-up be required." said J. Richard
Carlson, Wireless Matrix president and CEO. "Our proven solutions
continue to differentiate themselves from the rest of the market in
the quality, interoperability and value they offer our
customers."
