These wireless products complement Electrolab's existing line of "best in class" automation products for the industry, while also interfacing with a variety of third-party equipment.

"For many years, Electrolab customers have asked us for a suite of quality wireless devices.

Banner and Electrolab share a vision of success for this product line," Mathias added.

The Wireless/IoT product line, optimized for Electrolab customer applications, offers oil field technicians the ability to easily install and configure a complete, robust, wireless communications network. The Electrolab nodes connect all instrumentation on a pad site, regardless of brand, and reliably share information between local and remote equipment. Various communication protocols facilitate the connection of local wireless networks with the Internet and/or host systems, such as PLCs and SCADA devices. Long battery life, excellent durability, safe and easy configuration are product line highlights. The product suite includes five different node options, based on the sensor and data transmission required, and two gateway options:

Nodes: 

• Discrete/Analog Node
