WHAT: Panel Session: Gamechangers

Jarman will discuss how wireless technology is moving toward a first-position role within security solutions. In commercial settings, this especially is evident in the cost savings for materials and labor when compared to a traditional wired solution. Wireless also has proven to be an equal or more reliable solution for commercial building coverage.

Jarman also will highlight the use of IP-based gateway devices and software modules designed around integration with existing access control platforms and network video management software. Attendees will learn how these integrations can aid in achieving the promise of Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) at total lower cost (TLC).

WHAT: Reduce Operational Costs and Extend the Life of Pipeline Infrastructure by Automating Remote Cathodic Protection Systems

Energy and pipeline companies wrestle to control operating costs largely affected by new government regulations, aging buried metal assets, rising steel prices, expanding pipeline operations, new interference points, HCA encroachment, restrictive land use policies, heightened network security and an aging, soon-to-retire work force. With operating costs on the rise, and 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 aging pipeline infrastructure and reduce their costs while optimizing their operations.

WHAT: "Irrigation and Water Delivery Improvements Using Wireless Communication Technology"

The nation's farms and irrigation districts are losing access to water because the world's population is booming and cities are expanding. At the same time, the growing need for food requires that we increase our crop yields to meet the ever-increasing demands of the world's population. Today, there are numerous technologies at our fingertips that can assist in meeting future performance expectations. One simple word that describes these technologies is "automation." The same automation that has created information superhighways and reduced cost and higher productivity in producing fuels also can be used within the irrigation industry. Examples are wireless communication, automated controls and automated sensors. This presentation will explain how modifications using wireless technologies can save enormous amounts of water, improve efficiencies within systems and decrease the total amount of water being used in irrigation systems.

WHAT: What is the 700 MHz Spectrum in my World and How Can I Get it? (Brent McAdams)
Mission-critical processes are measured by their ability to meet uptime and performance requirements, especially with wireless. Carrier-grade wireless equipment and 700MHz licensed high-speed spectrum is now available, for the first time, to deploy for gas measurement communications. The 700 MHz licensed spectrum (versus unlicensed) provides a predictable RF environment protected from external interference, thus improving control over band management, security and speed. In addition, it provides privacy and extraordinary propagation. As a result, the broad propagation characteristics reduce the number and height of towers needed, resulting in a more cost-effective deployment. Now, new technologies are being introduced specifically for use in this spectrum. This paper will explore these technologies and offer participants a hands-on look on how to effectively deploy them.

Leveraging Hybrid Wireless Systems (Jim Gardner)
Companies with large geographically dispersed remote networks in the oil and gas industry can select one technology, one source, one vendor to collect, retrieve and report data to assess the health of the network. Sometimes, this type of approach makes sense. However, other times integrating other types of technologies offer significant benefits that can easily and more cost-effectively be incorporated into one cohesive network. This presentation will provide attendees with specific ways they can set up and deploy hybrid networks to drive maintenance/monthly costs down - directly impacting their bottom line; decrease polling cycle times; reduce the time needed to identify and rectify problems within the network; and, eliminate system "pinch points" - or single points of failure.
