Nonincendive Wireless Phone "While responding to the needs and requests of our offshore oil customers, we found that a telephone for use in poten- tially hazardous environments or locations was not available," Wright noted. Called nonincendive phones, PetroCom is mak- ing them available for Class 1 Division 2 use. "Now that we are in production, we have found workers in other hazardous industries have been looking for this type of phone as well," Wright said.
Manufactured by Ecom Instruments for
PetroCom, these phones incorporate elec- trical and mechanical modifications as well as the addition of special safety pro- tective electronics. These phones are usable in situations where hazardous con- centrations of flammable gas or vapors exist under unlikely conditions of opera- tion and are built of a highly durable splash-proof material.
Satellite Services
In 1995, PetroCom commercialized their expertise in the C-band and Ku-band frequencies and today operates one of the industry's largest VSAT (Very Small
Aperture Terminal) networks.
These private networks offer high- speed data transmission, voice, fax and
Internet access communications-regard- less of weather or movement.
PetroCom can engineer, construction and commission permanent VSAT earth stations whether in the city or offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
This system provides offshore workers all of the network services they rely on when in the corporate office. The offshore site becomes a node of the company LAN for email, file transfers, corporate applica- tions and Internet access.
Regardless of where company personal may be in the gulf, they can make tele- phone calls as if they were working local- ly in their corporate office.
PetroCom can engineer the remote
VSAT system to provide U.S. dial tone or dedicated terrestrial connectivity to the company PABX, allowing extension (four digit) dialing and company-defined fea- tures. 3 I M P L E X # O M P A C T ¤ S L A E 3 - D A E O N L Y I N ' E R M N A Y A 3 L V R E 3 S E R A P 3 S E I O .
