Operating over the existing wide-area network (WAN) and capable of working

with existing radio equipment, WAVE eliminates line and upgrade costs.

Furthermore, its standards-based architecture allowed the system to be built on

standard routing and switching platforms and standard desktop PCs, instead of

the expensive proprietary equipment required by typical hardware-based

solutions.

Additionally, by capitalizing on software, WAVE allows for unparalleled

customization. Country Energy's radio network employs a selective calling

(selcall) squelch protocol to narrow communications to specific field radios within

a larger channel. A tone-signaling-over-IP (TSoIP) device provides the

functionality to make this possible, while WAVE was customized to incorporate a

specialized embedded Selcall client.

Features and Benefits

Through the singular power of WAVE, Country Energy now operates one virtual

operations center. Across 47-and-growing channels and some 3,000 radios,

technicians and dispatchers can seamlessly communicate with each other in real

time. Plus, dispatchers now work using only one console, whether managing

daily business functions, communicating with staff or connecting technicians at

different locations.

"By integrating disparate radio networks, this solution allows our four operational

service centres to operate as a single, virtual entity, creating greater efficiencies

and cross-company collaboration," said Ken Stonestreet, Group General

Manager Networks and Infrastructure Country Energy. "Our regional support

teams can now share workloads more easily, creating a more responsive,

focused organization and helping the company reduce infrastructure and

operating costs."

Results

In addition, Country Energy plans to leverage the power of WAVE to achieve

further efficiencies. The system is already capable of integrating telephony,

making for a more complete Voice-over-IP (VoIP) network in which field radios

can connect directly to internal, external and mobile phones. As Country Energy

looks toward the future, they are now assured that their radio system will

flawlessly handle anticipated growth.
