Wireless Solutions for the Oil & Gas Industry
Wireless I/O FAQ
Cable Replacement
How reliable is the communication?Good signal strength assures uninterrupted communication. Before actual system installation, a
SITE SURVEY should be conducted. With the proper selection of antennas (positioning and gain
level), good signal strength can be achieved even over long distances. Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) modulation ensures a very high tolerance for interference, while time-slotted
architecture allows multiple RF nodes to coexist seamlessly on a large deterministic network.
How secure is my data?SureCross wireless devices communicate with one another using a proprietary protocol which only
carries I/O data, making it impossible for a malicious executable fi le to be transmitted. This protocol
does not operate like an open protocol such as Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) and is not subject to the security
risks of an open protocol. SureCross wireless protocol cannot be decoded by other manufacturers’
RF equipment. In fact, SureCross RF devices can be deployed successfully in close proximity to
other wireless technologies with no adverse effects.
How far can the signal travel?When using 1 W radios, the signal will travel up to six miles line of sight. When using 150 mW radios,
the signal will travel up to three miles line of sight. All SureCross wireless devices offer an integrated
Site Survey capability to evaluate radio signal strength in real-time to ensure your network will
communicate reliably prior to installation – no software required.
What will happen if there is a communication failure?The star topology DX80 architecture is a deterministic system which precisely defi nes how
network endpoints behave during the loss of communications. The network identifi es when the
communications link is lost and sets relevant outputs to user-defi ned conditions. Once the radio
signal is re-established, the network returns to normal operation.
Why & where should I use a Wireless system?• Wire damage due to articulating or rotating motion
• Excessive downtime of critical equipment due to cable replacement
• Heavy cost of material and manpower due to running of cables at long distances
• Diffi culty in installation of cables due to roads / bridges, property owned by another owner, or
where burial of conduit is impractical and/or impossible
• Cable damage due to rodents, heavy vehicle traffi c and aging / deterioration
