WHY P RE-TEST, ALPHA-TEST, BETA-TEST AND

FINAL-TEST OUR NEW DIGITAL CELLULAR

NETWORK

UNTIL IT'S ROCK SOLID?

BECAUSE FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.

Pardon us if we're a little fixated right now, relentlessly testing, analyzing and validating our new GSM/GPRS/EDGE digital cellular network around the clock.

But we're not going to stop until we're absolutely sure it delivers all the advanced communications and data capabilities you expect on land, in the Gulf.

PetroCom has a reputation for uncompro- mising communications reliability. That's why we're currently working closely with some of our more demanding customers to measure our new digital network's ability to help them achieve specific operational goals.

One company needs to share immense volumes of offshore production data in real time, without failure.

Another seeks to put more eyeballs on drilling situations by sending video from remote offshore facilities to diagnostic specialists worldwide, without failure.

Yet another wants to offer its employees working in the Gulf image transfer, high-bandwidth Internet access and e-mail services, without failure.

PetroCom is determined to deliver all this and more. Without failure. So, if you operate in the Gulf and have a daunting communication or data requirement, bring it to us at I-8OO-PETROCOM or www.petrocom.com

The reason we're busy testing is so we're ready for any challenge. & PETROCOM
