TC Communications' equipment is widely used in Oil and Gas applications, with the ability to operate in the harshest environments. TC Communications' products are the first choice for refineries and pipelines due to the following features:
- -40°C - 80°C operation
- Conformal coating available
- 100% solid state (no fans)
- 300,000+ hour MTBF
- Standard 5 year warranty
- Included support contract
Common Oil and Gas applications are IP Networks, SCADA, Channel Bank Replacement, and Phones. IP/Ethernet and Fiber are the most common transport media, however T1/E1 may also be used particularly when the replacement of channel banks is required.
Industry Solutions
TC communications JumboSwitch allows you to build 10G or 2.5G Ethernet networks.
Experience reliable operation during wide temperature swings, electromagnetic interference (EMI), vibration or moisture and humidity fluctuations. Available in an industrial hardened version with optional conformal coating.
The JumboSwitch is the logical choice for SCADA systems and similar applications. Connect to devices that use RTUs, PBXs/Telephones, IP Cameras, Access Panels, and a host of other interfaces.
Also experience the security and redundancy critical to oil and gas applications.
Jumboswitch may be monitored using TCView, a TC Communications' monitoring solution, or integrated to an existing NMS using SNMP.
The additional considerations for offshore oil sites such as reliability, remote access needs, as well as physical considerations fall in line with the stengths of TC Communication products.
For example our ruggedized JumboSwitch Multi-service platform can connect offshore sites and their various devices over microwave to Gas Oil Separation Plants (GOSP).
For pipeline and production facility monitoring and control (SCADA), TC Communications has a wide variety of solutions covering:
- RS-232
- RS-422
- RS-485
All use oversampling of any serial stream to provide enhanced security as well as simplified setup.
Redundant connectivity as well as fast system recovery ensure the reliability and security demanded by the OiI and Gas industry.
Analog phones, as either extensions or crash phones, are still widely used in many industry applications.
Solutions for one line, or many, are available and may be transported over Ethernet IP, fiber, or T1/E1
Solutions such as:
- Single line extension
- Single line crash phone
- Multiple line extensions and crash phones
Single line extension
Single line crash phone
Multiple line extensions and crash phones
In the evolving landscape of telecommunications, channel banks, once a staple, now face obsolescence and lack of support due to many manufacturers exiting the market. TC Communications offers cutting-edge solutions to replace these outdated systems, ensuring seamless and modern communication infrastructure.
Our product range includes JumboSwitch for customers who wish to replace their channel banks with an IP/Ethernet based solution. For replacing channel banks with a T1/E1 solution, we offer the JumboBank for complete T1/E1 replacement and Mini Channel Bank for low density interfaces at remote sites. These products provide a flexible and robust replacement for traditional channel banks, leveraging modern transport networks to maintain and enhance communication capabilities.
