Benchmark Data Solutions can provide complete communication services to any of your field needs, from supplying a cellular repeater at a drilling rig to setting up a base camp with its entire communication's system.

An example of a system we designed for an oil company's drilling base camp includes.

  1. Computer packages for all the coordinators on location (this alone saved the oil company thousands of dollars in drilling license fees.
  2. Supplied a cellular repeater to ensure good Analog and Digital, including 1X RTT, coverage was available at the camp, cutting down on satellite charges.
  3. Installed an internal wireless intercom system that enabled all personnel to communicate with each other with out running up costly cellular bills.
  4. Supplied a dedicated VoIP satellite system that gave people a high speed internet connection and allowed company personnel to securely log into their company networks (i.e. Citrix). This VoIP telecom grade satellite also included secure phone and fax calls to their headquarters in Calgary, cutting down their cellular bills by approximately 90%.
