M2M Data Corporation, the leader in advanced remote monitoring services for oil and gas markets, today announced that its Remote Monitoring Services (RMS) client SkyWave has also opted for its IsatData Pro satellite communications service, which will enable SkyWave’s customers to send and receive more information. With this Machine-to-Machine service, SkyWave’s customers will be able to cost effectively get the field data they need for their operations.
"The increased capacity is allowing our customers to send larger data packets more frequently, with a low cost piece of equipment," said Donald Wallace, M2M Data Corp's president and CEO, in a statement. "It's about expanding the selection of solutions available to our RMS customers and making sure our clients have the right technology to fit their needs."
Designed to meet the growing demand for higher bandwidth in M2M applications, IsatData Pro is ideal for mission-critical applications. The service allows advanced remote and flow-monitoring systems to report alarms and send more data in seconds. IsatData Pro offers near real-time messages of up to 10,000 bytes to the terminal device, and up to 6,400 bytes for field originated messages.
"IsatData Pro introduces a major innovation into the M2M market," said Sean Faulkner, vice president of IsatData Pro at SkyWave. "It's a global service with a packet data capability far beyond anything currently out there. Being able to send and receive more data affordably from remote assets will allow better visibility of business operations and manage risks more effectively."
In addition to satellite communications services, SkyWave offers a variety of products, tools and professional services aimed at assisting customers in maximizing their investment in the technology. "A culture of superior customer service is important to M2M RMS, and we've found a like-minded partner in SkyWave," said Wallace. "When you're in the middle of an oil field miles away from the nearest office and need to troubleshoot there's going to be someone there to help."
