C-Com / Pointer - Mobile Auto-Acquire Antennas Case Studies in Multiple Vertical Markets - Renato Silva

1. Mobile Auto-Acquire Antenna
Case Studies

2. Fully Connected: Anywhere & Anytime
 In an age when „NOW‟ means „RIGHT NOW‟, LIVE is the only
acceptable solution
 24x7 Live & Connected is a must for Military, Government, Oil
& Gas, SNG Broadcasters, Telemedicine, Emergency Services,
Police, Fire, Ambulance, and many more.
 Mobile, SATCOM, Comm-on-the-Pause antennas can assist
users in sending and receiving large amounts of data to and
from remote locations at very high speeds. In many locations
where normal terrestrial infrastructure doesn‟t exist, satellite is
the ONLY option.

10. Manufacturing Hundreds of Antennas
at a Time
End-users should rely on those resellers and manufacturers who can provide product
quickly. The wrong choice can mean exorbitant lead times anywhere from 8-26 weeks
long. C-COM is a manufacturer that produces and warehouses hundreds of antennas at
a time, and unlike most of the competition, can deliver product, even large volumes, in
just a few days.

®
DEPLOYED FOR
OIL FIELD EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS

16. Chinese Oilfield, (Taklimakan Desert)
 The second largest land-based
oilfield in China
 Area of 270,000 KM2
 Taklimakan desert, the so called
“sea of death”
 The starting point of China‟s
West to East Gas Line
 14,000+ Employees
 200+ working areas

17. Emergency Situations
 Blowouts
 Natural Disasters on site, such as
flooding, sandstorms, fires, etc.
 Production accidents
 High Value Equipment Damage

18. Why Mobility is Important?
 Drilling locations and work areas change
 Gas line patrol inspections
 Deserts changes the shape of the land and makes fixed stations unable to
operate without re-pointing
 When vehicles can not access parts of the desert, Flyaway Antenna
Systems are the only viable option

19. Case Study: iNetVu Enabled Total Oil Field
Emergency Solution in China
 Problem:
– Narrow bandwidth
communications;
• Bandwidth not sufficient to
support all voice channels
• Voice only solution, no
data, video, Internet or
email
• Cell phone is not a
solution
 The iNetVu Solution
– Satellite Enabled Broadband
delivers sufficient bandwidth
– Enabled Applications
• Video
• Wi-Fi
• Trunk Radio
• Cell phone
• Internet

add-on services to support client
requirements

23. The iNetVu in Telemedicine
Applications

24. Case Study
iNetVu Deployed for Mobile Breast Cancer Screening in NZ
Equip the mobile health care units with VSAT
antenna systems that can send/receive data from
rural locations of New Zealand
Challenge
The health care unit`s new digital technology
processes the pictures and reports within seconds
and beams it via the iNetVu mobile satellite
antenna located on top of the vehicle to
radiologists in Auckland
The iNetVu Solution
Provide portable satellite connectivity to
allow for instant and timely delivery of
breast cancer screening reports and
pictures from rural parts of New Zealand
Requirement

25. The iNetVu in SNG / Broadcasting
Applications

26. Case Study
Mobile SNG Communications through the iNetVu
• Build a custom rack to hold the iNetVu antenna
on to the roof of truck body
• Install VSAT systems that could fit on their
smaller sized vehicles, perform cross-polarization
without operator intervention and be deployed at
the push of a button
The iNetVu Solution
Lack of modernized communications equipment on
ARY’s Satellite News Gathering trucks in Pakistan
Challenge
Provide portable satellite connectivity
to allow for instant and timely delivery
of news from remote locations
Requirement

27. The iNetVu in Police / Fire /
Ambulance (ESP) Applications

28. Case Study:
High-speed Data Capture through iNetVu
Requirement
Challenge
The iNetVu Solution
Catch criminals in Surrey (UK) using ANPR
(Automatic Number Plate Recognition)
allied to satellite-based broadband data
transmission
Previously the command vehicles were hampered
by having to download current data and
intelligence at base at the start of a shift and then
having no capability to update data remotely while
on operational duty.
C-COM supplied its iNetVu antenna systems that
were installed by Excelerate Technology. The
iNetVu systems delivered reliability of access and
high data transfer rates at all times of the day.
Moreover, the new satellite-based system was able
to do so at a lower cost than the alternatives
previously available to the Police. Adding satellite
capability to ANPR systems from suppliers with the
required accreditations and experience to meet the
exacting NAAS standards made a significant
contribution towards cutting crime and improving
operational efficiency.

30. The iNetVu in Telecom
Applications

31. Case Study
Japan uses iNetVu Antennas for Tsunami Relief Operations
• Technical team was immediately sent to Japan to
inspect the site and install iNetVu antenna
systems
• A customized solution was developed where the
antennas could automatically re-point in case of
an aftershock or power outage
• A complete communications solution was
provided within 2 weeks where people at remote
sites could communicate through iNetVu
technology
The iNetVu Solution
Previously Softbank used fixed satellite antennas
for emergency communications which took hours
for the team to install. The aftershocks from 2011
Tsunami made it impossible for the fixed antennas
to maintain their link to the satellite.
Challenge
• Establish reliable communications at
Tsunami struck temporary cellular sites
• Install 110 mobile antenna systems to
provide emergency communications
Requirement

32. The iNetVu in Mobile Post Office
Applications

33. Case Study
The iNetVu provides Mobile Post Office Communications
• Provide postal services to remote
locations
• Equip Pos Malaysia Berhad’s mobile post
office vehicles with reliable satellite-
based communications on-site
Requirement
Lack of communication for mobile postal services
in remote locations of Malaysia which lead to POS
Malaysia Berhad’s limited access to its customers
Challenge
• Launch of two new postal services:
Post-Automated-Machine (PAM) and
POS-On-Wheels or mobile post office
• Provide satellite-based communications solutions
to provide instant reliable communications
between the head office and the mobile post
office through the simple press of a button
