Oil & Gas
Offshore rigs. Remote pipelines. Massive refineries. From upstream to downstream, no industry presents as much of a challenge to communications as does the oil and gas industry.
Wired solutions are impractical. And, wireless alternatives are nearly impossible to implement with acceptable levels of scalability, reliability or cost-effectiveness. Only wireless mesh technology can deliver in this environment.
For oil and gas operations, security and safety are of the utmost importance. With video surveillance powered by Azalea routers, it is now possible to monitor even the most remote areas, 24/7. With high-speed broadband capabilities, users can stream video in real time or record it for review at a later date. This technology can be employed to prevent or contain potentially catastrophic events, such as fires and oil spills.
For an oil and gas operation to run successfully, there must be open communication. With Azalea wireless networks, supervisors can communicate with workers in the field with ease. They can contact each other via voice telecomm with no interference, interruptions or security concerns. Or, they can share data anywhere in the network with the help of a laptop or PDA.
The implications for efficiency are as real as they are cost-effective. Deployment is simple, and expansion is even easier. Just attach the router and power it up. The technology is designed to automatically detect, configure and optimize. And, this same feature is useful if there is ever a desire to relocate the network. Simply move the routers to their new location and power up.
The Azalea Advantage
Azalea Networks' wireless mesh technology solves the problems associated with wired and alternative wireless networks.
Support existing standard Wi-Fi terminals to protect investments
With Azalea mesh networks, existing investments in Wi-Fi technologies
such as terminals, routers, and handsets can continue to be used
without any system modifications.
Offer secure access
Azalea wireless mesh
routers support any existing standard VPN tunnel, thus enhancing
flexibility and security for different corporate internal network
visits.
Experience technical superiority & focus
Azalea‘s
proprietary technologies deliver high-speed broadband and video access
over long distances. Wireless mesh is more affordble and easier to
deploy, making it a compelling mode of transmission. In addition,
Azalea can deploy routers in remote settings with no power by adding
solar panels to router towers.
Enhance the distribution/customer relationship
Azalea
operates through and supports distributors, resellers and system
integrators. This allows customers to maintain existing, trusted
relationships.
Take advantage of a cost-effective structure
Azalea
engineering and production teams are a blend of U.S. and China-based
expertise, combining the best technology at the greatest value to the
customer.
Eliminate the need to deploy countless wire lines
Historically,
networking an environment meant deploying a large number of wires. With
Azalea wireless mesh solutions, often only one wireless mesh router is
physically connected to the wired network, saving both time and money.
With Azalea's routable genuine mesh technologies, network topology is
completely flexible, allowing users a choice in wired gateway placement
for maximum cost effectiveness.
Expand or optimize coverage — anytime, anywhere
With
Azalea, there is no need to implement an entire network in just one
step. Azalea technology enables the coverage of key areas first and can
be easily expanded to other areas as appropriate. Azalea is able to
raise the ratio of network usage, reduce the difficulty of network
deployment, and lower the initial investment.
Ensure maximum network reliability with genuine mesh technology
Azalea
wireless mesh is self-healing through Azalea patent-pending AWR™
routing mechanisms. This makes the mesh network fully routable and
flexible. If any radio link fails, another route will automatically be
created. With Azalea, no one single point of failure will affect the
network performance, unlike most commonly used tree topologies from
other vendors.
Maintain continuous network service
Azalea’s
patent-pending Motrix™ roaming algorithm supports high-speed roaming in
a Layer-3 implementation. This allows individuals to use Wi-Fi
terminals for high-speed Internet access while on the move. An
automatic roaming algorithm ensures that there is no disruption to
voice, video, or data transmission.
Supports enterprise-class security
All
Azalea wireless mesh equipment supports existing 802.11i standards such
as Open, WEP, WPA-TKIP, and WPA-AES. Adhering to enterprise-class
standards ensures that data transmitted over the airwaves remains
secure.
