WHAT: Hybrid Communication Networks
In an industry saturated with many pipeline monitoring solutions, it is critical for operators to understand which technologies are best-suited for their pipeline infrastructure and their impact on their cathodic protection (CP) efforts. Sometimes, it makes the most sense to take a hybrid approach and leverage several solutions for a company’s asset monitoring needs.
Traditionally, companies with large geographically dispersed communication networks typically have selected one technology, one source, one vendor to collect, retrieve and report data to assess the health of their pipeline infrastructures. However, there is a new paradigm today in which organizations are breaking away from tradition and deploying multiple communication technologies to create a hybrid communications network that can better serve an organization’s needs. Steele will present the many different technologies available to keeps maintenance and monthly costs down; decrease polling cycle times and reduce network error-correction time; and eliminate “pinch points,” or single points of failure.
Plunger Lift I/O
Traditionally, an operator was required to manually shut in a well to create pressure downhole in wells that suffered from heavy fluid loads. Artificial lift is a method used to build enough downhole pressure to lift or produce the liquid from the well. With options for communicating plunger lift data to the RTU being wired or wireless, producers have a decision to consider. This paper is intended to enable that decision with valuable information.
Steele will review artificial lift and teach attendees how to navigate the decision between wired or wireless solutions in regards to their artificial lift systems. The presentation will explore the viable, reliable and robust qualities of wireless tools which keep them on par with, and in some cases, superior to their wired solution competitors.

WHAT: Plenary Session: Point to Multi-Point Radio SCADA Networks
In today’s technological climate, advancements and developments have made multiple network types available, including point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, backhaul, tail-end link or extension, point-to-multipoint with repeaters and hybrid networks that may have several types of communication devices. In order to determine which option is best, each operator must carefully consider his/her individual system requirements. Some operators understand the details and the planning that needs to be considered, while others might need some help, or at the very least, some guidelines.
This presentation offers basic system design requirements, tips on selecting the right components and some common SCADA terminology with definitions. The author will focus on practical considerations to help users make the best decision for selecting a network that is the best for their system, while highlighting ideal communication options for a point-to-multipoint SCADA network.

WHAT: SOUTHERN UTAH WATER SCADA PROJECT AND DISPELLING MYTHS REGARDING 900 MHZ SPREAD SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY
Each year, the water/wastewater industry deploys an increasing number of spread spectrum communication solutions. Previously, the use of wireless telemetry in water/wastewater SCADA systems was almost exclusively in the licensed radio realm. However, the scarcity of available licensed channels as well as its improved technology has made the spread spectrum radio an increasingly popular choice. With the install base of spread spectrum devices rapidly increasing, there have been a number of urban legends, superstitions and myths that have circulated. With the introduction and advancement of any new technology, misconceptions and misunderstandings always will surface. Spread spectrum, like any technology, can be an extremely valuable tool when used in the correct environment and with correct network deployment.
The objective of this presentation is to explore these “myths” and provide a better understanding of how to use spread spectrum technology in water/wastewater applications and also show where you can expect to succeed with spread spectrum communication solutions. In addition, Steele will provide a real-life, case study example of this technology by exploring the Southern Utah Water SCADA Project.

WHAT: Technical Session: “What’s In Your Radio Communication Tackle Box?”
Numerous communication technologies have been introduced into the irrigation and water management market over the years all claiming to be the best and most reliable communication tool. Radios have become faster, smarter and easier than ever to program and upgrade firmware. The biggest advancements are happening on the I/O side of the pond. We see more options and frequencies that can be used today than ever before. Some of those trends are 2.4 GHz for short range I/O and 900MHz for long range or for those networks that might only have a couple of sites that require I/O.
This presentation will review what tools attendees should have in their communication tackle box and how they can make managing their radio communications network easier with more information at their disposal. Tips will be shared for determining what is best for each situation as well as how to plan for organizations’ changing needs.
Hands-on Class:
During this hands-on class, Steele will teach attendees how to set up, install and troubleshoot serial wireless networks using spread spectrum radios.
