Case Study: a South American oil refinery achieves long-range offshore video surveillance with Visec wireless monitoring

South American Oil Refinery - Customer Case Study

The customer, a South American oil refinery, needed a wireless video surveillance system for an offshore platform located 15 miles from its land-based refinery to protect its critical infrastructure. After finding satellite and subterranean cable solutions to be too costly and slow, they approached Visec for a professional and cost-effective solution.

Visec engineers implemented a sophisticated, entirely wireless system using a phased array of high-gain antennas on the 802.11 spectrum. This solution transmitted video over 20 miles with no special permits required and integrated with the platform's sensory equipment via Visec Automation. This approach saved the customer approximately 900%, costing only one-tenth of the price of the other considered solutions.
