WHAT: Building the Ideal Communications Network—Wireless, Wired, Public, Proprietary…So Many Decisions

Numerous communication technologies have been introduced into the market over the years all claiming to be the best and most reliable communication tool. How do you decide what truly is best for your situation?  For your future expansion?  For the changing needs of your organization?

How can you utilize your current communication systems in combination with newly available products and technologies to create a near perfect solution while also reducing the likelihood of technology obsolescence?
  
In this presentation, Mr. McAdams will address these questions and focus on creating the ideal communications network using a "Hybrid" approach for monitoring, controlling and pushing network capability to the extreme.  Attendees will learn how to integrating various communication options to create a robust and reliable system to meet their specific requirements.

WHO: David Southern is a Product Development Manager for FreeWave Technologies, a leading designer and manufacturer of spread spectrum wireless solutions. www.freewave.com

Southern has 25 years of experience in the water/wastewater, hazardous waste remediation, oil and gas industry, mining, petrochemical and refining industries. Prior to joining FreeWave, he was a Business Manager for an Emerson Process Management representative. In 1978, as a summer intern on an offshore oil production platform, Southern learned firsthand the basics of corrosion prevention and the everyday importance cathodic protection plays in mission critical operations. Southern has authored or co-authored several U.S. patents and is published in several industry magazines including Pipeline & Gas Technology, POWER, American Oil & Gas Reporter and Compressor Tech II. He is a 1982 graduate of the School of Mines.

WHAT: FreeWave's FGRCP Industrial 900MHz Cathodic Protection (CP) Remote Monitoring Radio
Energy and Pipeline Companies wrestle to meet new stricter state and federal pipeline integrity requirements while simultaneously trying to control operating costs. Recent, unfortunate, pipeline news events pushed corrosion and cathodic protection to front page news across the nation to the extent that the U.S. Congress and several states passed legislation directed specifically toward cathodic protection practices. Many companies are looking to new technologies and automation for answers. Unfortunately, ever changing cell phone technologies left some companies scrambling to stay ahead of telemetry obsolescence. Effective answers to critical issues affecting public safety are often found in a combination of both old and new technology.

This presentation will focus on how Cathodic Protection Remote Monitoring Units, such as FreeWave's recently introduced FGRCP 900 MHz Radio, automatically collect and report mission critical, corrosion prevention data from remote rectifiers and test points and transmit that data back to a central data collection system via wireless, radio modems--often using a companies' existing radio networks.

The FGRCP automates the remote monitoring of critical pipes and culverts to identify and prevent corrosion that can lead to leaks, groundwater contamination and other such adverse scenarios affecting overall water quality, supply and/or public safety.

WHO: Robert Clark is a business development manager for FreeWave Technologies, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of spread spectrum radios. www.freewave.com. 

WHAT: "The Advantages of Implementing Wireless I/O"
  Historically, hardwiring has been the only option available for users to connect instrumentation. New spread spectrum technologies give users the ability to connect instrumentation in the field without the need for costly wired infrastructure. Now, asset information is available from applied and embedded sensory points enabling sophisticated diagnostics, remote monitoring and control, and, plant optimization.

Control and Maintenance engineers and wireless specialists will benefit from this presentation by having the information necessary to make wireless I/O business decisions. Attendees will also learn to identify the key economic business drivers and to develop a decision matrix to maximize and leverage existing investments in technology.
