“The FreeWave radios enhance Arcadian Networks’ custom, private, wireless services, with new voice and data capabilities,” explained Jake Rasweiller, vice president of engineering and network operations at Arcadian. “Providing our customers with diversity of choice, scalable performance, and flexible price-points is an essential element of our service in building out the nation’s only mission-critical network devoted to electric utilities and oil and gas companies. FreeWave’s 700 MHz wireless radio is a great proof point of this philosophy.”
The FreeWave Technologies 700 MHz family of board level radios provides outstanding performance and versatility in a small footprint that is ideal for internally mounted applications. The board level radio offers a cost-effective solution that allows customers to incorporate wireless communications into a wide variety of applications. With interface options available, a 6-30 VDC input voltage, a temperature range of -30°C to +70°C, surface mount design, and no additional RF shielding.

WHAT: Optimizing Operations by Automating Remote Cathodic Protection Systems
Energy and Pipeline Companies wrestle to control operating costs largely affected by new government regulations, ageing buried metal assets, rising steel prices, expanding pipeline operations, new interference points, HCA encroachment, restrictive land use policies, heightened network security, and an ageing soon-to-retire work force. With operating costs on the rise, seemingly out of control, many CP and Operations Professionals look to past best practices in cost containment through automation. Many companies achieve solid business results through deployment of telemetry and SCADA automation of remote assets and now hope to expand this success to further optimize operations by automating remote cathodic protection systems.
This presentation will provide examples of how new remote cathodic protection systems are helping energy and pipeline companies address the growing issue of the ageing pipeline infrastructure and reduce their costs while optimizing their operations.
