Internet Protocol (IP) based networks are the dominant networks. With the advancement in telecommunications and IT, IP based networks are increasingly supporting all varieties of traffic including data, voice, video, wireless, asset management and becoming the basis for converging network design where all types of communications traffic can be accommodated on one unified network. CSE Transtel can provide network design , traffic analysis, network optimization as part of its design delivered to the client by our certified CISCO system engineer.

VSAT based satellite systems can be used for voice, data, remote monitoring and video conferencing. This technology can facilitate both point to point and star topology and is normally applied where locations are geographically wide apart from each other, or the physical terrain precludes line of site or laying of cable.

Fiber optic based backbone networks are the most reliable and efficient mode of Communications backbone with the support of both high speeds and bandwidth in demanding applications. The fiber optic networks encompass both SDH/SOHET networks over Dark Fiber or DWDM or CWDM. CSE Transtel has deployed these networks for offshore, pipeline projects and plant projects. TRANSTEL provides detailed design and engineering including traffic assignments, bandwidth allocations, IP planning, VLAN configuration, E1 assignment, fiber optic link budget, fiber optic installation, fusion splicing and fiber testing.

New technologies such as IP-MPLS, industrial Ethernet, OTN or Carrier over Ethernet may be deployed as a Fiber Optic backbone providing a reliable transport layer and guaranteeing adequate Quality of Services for real time demanding applications such as voice and video traffic. `

Microwave based transmission networks solutions for point to point are used extensively in the oil and gas industry as a main telecommunications backbone or backup for the primary fiber optic backbone to provide a transport medium for control, monitoring, telephony and LAN/WAN traffic. CSE Transtel provides the complete system engineering, site surveys and frequency allocation and planning including the path profile.

Point to Multipoint systems or Wimax are used extensively for onshore drilling and offshore applications. This can be used to link the main processing facilities with the remote drilling outstations or an FPSO with their surrounding working boat, providing a transport medium for control, monitoring, telephony, CCTV and LAN/WAN traffic. CSE Transtel provides the complete system engineering , site surveys and frequency allocation and planning including the path profile.

Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) is a specialist Professional Mobile Radio and walkie-talkies standard for high integrity systems and the advantages over technologies such as Conventional radio or MPT1327 are: having much lower frequency used, permitting very high levels of geographic coverage with a smaller number of transmitters, and cutting infrastructure cost.

Unlike most cellular technologies, TETRA networks typically provide a number of fall-back modes such as the ability for a base station to process local calls in the absence of the rest of the network, and for 'direct mode' where mobiles can continue to share channels directly if the infrastructure fails or is out-of-reach.

Public Address and General Alarms Systems (PAGA) are high integrity plant safety systems interfaced with fire & gas systems that are needed to alert personnel within the plant in the event of emergency situations by means of either a speech or alarm broadcast with visual warning beacons in high ambient noise areas. This applies to both hazardous and non-hazardous areas of the plant accordingly.

CSE Transtel designs, builds and engineers the PAGA systems to the clients project specification requirement. In addition to this as part of the design scope CSE Transtel performs an acoustic analysis and sound coverage study using state of the art acoustic modeling software to ensure that adequate sound level coverage and intelligibility is achieved within the plant facilities where personnel frequent.

Close Circuit Television Systems (CCTV) are used for both monitoring plant processes and or plant security surveillance using a network of strategically located fixed or remote control cameras with associated ancillaries such as mast towers or flood light where required or specified.

Using the latest proven technological developments in cameras, monitors and control systems CCTV systems are designed and engineered for both industrial and hazardous area environmental applications and in full compliance to the applicable safety and international standards.

Access Control and Management Systems also make a vital contribution to physical plant security and anti intrusion in controlling entry or access to specific areas of the plant. This may be main gate entrances for either vehicles or personnel via road barriers or turnstiles manually operated by security personnel or via means of a range of electronic technologies such as proximity fobs or magnetic cards that effectively act as a electric key.

Additionally, sensitive areas of the plant can have en may have access to sensitive areas, such as control rooms restricted and controlled using electro-magnetic door locks that can be activated using the same electronic key. All access events are logged and are time/date stamped to provide an effective access management data base tool.

Perimeter Fence Intrusion Detection Systems provide the first layer of electronic security to monitor the first level of physical security of the plant. These systems use a number of different technology to monitor fence intrusion from microwave perimeter detection or fence sensors.

Sensors are strategically located to monitor perimeter fence integrity where the detection is annunciated and an alarm sounded on a video monitor. This system can also be interfaced with the CCTV system to display the image of the nearest camera for visual verification by security personnel. These systems are custom designed, engineered and configured to clients specific requirements and can be seamlessly integrated together and over networks with other systems.
