Due to the large amount of active oil projects on the west coast of Africa, the need for trustworthy communication systems has never been so important.
MRTC, an Authorized Reseller of Omnitronics, was chosen to deliver a critical dispatch system for a large Nigerian company operating in the oil and gas sector that was seeking to connect disparate oil fields and their main hub via unicast IP lines.

The Solution
960 Dispatch and IPR100 RoIP Gateways
MRTC introduced Omnitronics IPR100 RoIP gateways across optical fibre to deliver back to back radio communications across the primary and secondary platforms. The IPR100 is a Radio over IP (RoIP) Gateway that creates IP links between two or more radios using point to point (unicasting), point to multi-point (multicasting) or IP conferencing communications.
With a Motorola DM4600e radio and an Omnitronics 960 console connected via IPR100 RoIP Gateways, control of the radio from the remote location became possible, and provided a balanced, half-duplex connection that allows multiple operators to share the IP connection from the IPR100. Moreover, the 960 SIP console is an extremely rugged hardware console that can be used in harsh environments, has extremely high reliability and resilience, and it powers up in less than 2 seconds.
