FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES’ DAN STEELE TO PRESENT AT ANNUAL GAS WELL DELIQUIFICATION WORKSHOP
Executive at leading wireless technologies solutions provider to present on innovations in hybrid communication networks and plunger lift
WHO: Dan Steele
Market Manager – Oil and Gas
FreeWave Technologies, Inc.
Daniel G. Steele is the manager for the oil and gas market at FreeWave Technologies, Inc. Steele has more than 25 years of experience selling Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks for the water and wastewater, oil and gas, electric utilities, railroad, traffic, government and process control instrumentation markets. Some of Steele’s previous experience includes; senior vice president of sales for Bluewave Antenna Systems, the western division manager for Automation-X, regional sales manager for Microwave Data Systems (now GEMDS), sales manager for WETCO, Inc., branch manager for JMC Instruments, regional sales manager for Rockwell Automation; branch manager for Water Works Equipment Company.
Founded in 1993, FreeWave Technologies is a world leader in the innovative design/manufacture of license-free spread spectrum, licensed band radios and wireless data solutions that are trusted for mission critical applications around the world (www.freewave.com).
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.
WHERE: 11th Annual Gas Well Deliquification Workshop
Sheraton Denver Hotel
1550 Court Place
Denver, CO 80202
WHEN: Monday, Feb. 18 through Wednesday, Feb. 20

HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY CHOOSES FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES’ WIRELESS DATA SOLUTIONS FOR FAULT CIRCUIT INDICATOR PROJECT
FreeWave’s high performance, reliable wireless data radios help notify utility of power line faults in real-time
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 29, 2013 – DistribuTECH (Booth #1533) — FreeWave Technologies, (www.freewave.com), manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, today announced it has been selected for a fault circuit indicator (FCI) project by Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) (www.heco.com/portal/site/heco). By installing FCI’s throughout the island of Oahu, HECO can effectively mitigate power outages or issues along the power line by detecting fault data and transmitting it in real-time with FreeWave’s wireless data radios. This will allow HECO to quickly restore power to residents. The utility worked with FreeWave and its partner Power Delivery Products, Inc. (www.powerdeliveryproducts.com/index.php), who provided the Smart Navigator FCI sensors, to install a network using FreeWave’s FGR2-PE radios for long range wireless communications. Deployment kicked off in late 2012 and will continue throughout 2013. Once the initial project is complete FCIs will be deployed across the entire island of Oahu.
“Our solutions are ideal for distribution automation applications such as FCIs, because they perform exceedingly well in challenging, remote environments,” said Curt Goldman, utility market manager at FreeWave Technologies. “This deployment began in one of the most difficult terrains for wireless data transmission on the island of Oahu. The substation in the northwest corner of the island is extremely remote and the technology is deployed on a beach, exposing the wireless radios to harsh environmental elements. This was a location where competing wireless communication technologies previously were unable to receive or transmit critical data. However, our radios have performed well since day one.”
In addition to the FGR2-PE’s reliable performance, project managers at HECO have cited excellent customer service and on-site support as key reasons for choosing FreeWave for the FCI project. FreeWave’s system engineering team has been closely involved in HECO’s network deployment by working with its partner, Power Delivery Products, to ensure optimum network performance.
FreeWave’s FGR2-PE radio (http://www.freewave.com/products/allproducts/fgr2pe.aspx) is part of the portfolio of Ethernet solutions offered to address the needs of distribution automation. They provide simple Ethernet connectivity, industrial grade security, superior RF link performance, and integrated network manageability. The FGR2-PE also offers a second, switched Ethernet port as well as two serial ports to meet the demands of customers’ wireless automation requirements. The ports enable a transition from serial to Ethernet data communication without having to replace wireless communication hardware later on, or operate both serial and Ethernet communication independently and simultaneously on the same platform.
“We are very excited to partner with HECO for this key project,” said Ashish Sharma chief marketing officer at FreeWave Technologies. “Our solutions provide superior radio link performance over long coverage areas. Customer satisfaction is the top priority for our organization, and we will continue to develop our solutions with that in mind.”
FreeWave is exhibiting at DistribuTECH and will be showcasing its wireless solutions for utility markets. It also will be offering a demo of this installation with its partner, Power Delivery Products during the event. For a demonstration and firsthand look at the company’s latest offerings, please stop by FreeWave’s booth (#1533).

The radios provide real-time monitoring and transmission of critical data to help ensure high-quality, safe water for more than 17,000 single family equivalents (SFEs) deployed across 43 square miles of the Parker, Colorado community. Currently, Parker Water and Sanitation District uses FreeWave’s HTPlus, FGR Serial radios and FGR2-IO radios.
“FreeWave’s radios were easily integrated into our existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) network and can communicate with all of our Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs),” said Kirk Magnusson, systems administration manager at Parker Water and Sanitation District. “The result is one cohesive system that sends critical data in real-time. With the configuration and diagnostics tools that FreeWave offers, we also can manage the radios from our desktop. With our old system, if a radio had a communication issue, someone from the team would have to drive out and locally fix it. The advantages of selecting FreeWave radios have resulted in exceptional reliability and performance, but we also have been especially impressed by FreeWave’s around-the-clock customer support.”
Prior to selecting FreeWave, Parker Water and Sanitation District was looking for a radio provider that could help it achieve reliable wireless data communication with real-time data transmission. While it had a communication system in place, there was a 10-minute delay in data transmission and the radios it used were incompatible with each other. With the help of PCD Sales and the opportunity to do a path study prior to purchasing FreeWave radios, Parker Water and Sanitation District determined that FreeWave was the best choice for its network. Today, the radios are used for monitoring critical data at its water and wastewater facilities, including tank levels, temperatures, pressures, and pump control.
Parker Water and Sanitation District currently has several FreeWave radio models deployed in the field. FreeWave’s FGR Serial radios provide a wireless data communication solution for applications around the world – ranging from mission critical situations to recreational. The HTPlus radio is ideal for industrial grade, high-speed Ethernet communications, where high throughput is required. It operates in harsh environments and noisy RF conditions. Delivering data at a rate of up to 867 Kbps, it is designed for SCADA backhaul networks. The FGR2-IO, FreeWave’s 900 MHz input/output (I/O) radio, provides outstanding performance and versatility in wireless transmission of process-control signals. It offers transparent acquisition, transport and reconstruction of analog, digital and power signals eliminating the need for associated buried wiring. Parker Water and Sanitation District also has utilized FreeWave’s network configuration and diagnostic software, Tool Suite.
“At FreeWave, we work hard to ensure our wireless radios not only perform, but that we do everything possible to make sure our customers receive the top-notch service they deserve,” said Ashish Sharma chief marketing officer at FreeWave Technologies. “Our low power consumption technology that provides extremely long range communication is a great fit for such remote automation applications.”
