Redline's iLTE™ is the industry's most
comprehensive offering to address private LTE networks for
industrial and specialty service providers
HOUSTON, Oct. 3, 2018 /CNW/ - From OilComm 2018,
Redline Communications Group Inc. (TSX: RDL), a leading provider of
wide-area wireless networks for the most challenging applications
and locations, today announced significant enhancements and
additions to its iLTE™ product family, the company's Private LTE
Infrastructure solution. This comprehensive product suite, built
upon the 3GPP LTE mobility standard supports an extensive range of
features. The products have also been deployed in mixed LTE vendor
environments and demonstrated the ability to interoperate with
other vendors. iLTE™ has also been used to connect industrial and
commercial handsets, mobile routers and IOT devices in demanding
environments such as offshore Oil & Gas and underground mining
operations.
Harbor Research's paper "The Private LTE Opportunity for
Industrial and Commercial IoT" estimates that there are more than
14.5 million sites globally in which private LTE networks could be
deployed. These include military bases and warehouses, hospitals,
power generation companies, industrial and manufacturing facilities
and Oil & Gas and mining operations. Service Providers
(WISP's), working to bridge the digital divide, are in addition to
this number.
"We are in a unique position in the market with our
comprehensive LTE offering. Redline's complete private LTE
infrastructure solution includes a full complement of hardware,
software and Advanced Services helping our customers and partners
build an easily manageable wireless infrastructure," stated
Robert Williams, Redline's
CEO. "This is a very exciting time for the company as we see
industrial verticals including Oil & Gas, Mining, Electrical
Utilities and Transportation looking to migrate from legacy
networks to dedicated private LTE in order to deliver enterprise
services. On the Service Provider side, this solution offers a
very compelling ROI for specialized industrial or rural Service
Providers focused on the digital divide."
Redline iLTE™ customer Ted Bajno,
from Baffinland Iron Mines Corp stated, "Redline worked with us to
understand our needs and delivered a standards-based solution to
fit our requirements and could stand up to the harsh climate of the
high Arctic. Redline offered the entire end-to-end solution, which
simplified and streamlined the whole deployment process. We put our
faith in Redline at the outset, and a year later, with the network
deployed, they fully delivered on their promise and have been with
us every step of the way. The network is running beautifully, and
we continue to work with this team expanding our
network."
