The Pepro difference!
Communications are the key to adequate response!
Engineered enclosures maximize the ability of digital communications systems to operate in difficult environments.
The critical nature of communications in harsh, difficult, and dynamic environments requires the best technology available for deployment and protection of the digital equipment. The revolution in communications brought on by the introduction of digital equipment has had a profound effect on the ability of various entities, from government to the private sector, to provide strategic communications, gather data and provide command and control centers as necessary. In many cases, the functionality determines how and if mission critical actions can be taken. However, this increase in capability has not come without cost. In addition to being dependent on the communications equipment for the necessary information to act, digital equipment, by its very nature, requires a different operating environment than older analog technologies. Certain factors affect digital systems more than analog ones, necessitating that users properly address these issues, particularly those who are dependent on digital communications to act. Often, this criterion for effective deployment of digital communications is ignored.
Pioneer Energy Products (Pepro) has focused its efforts on developing products for this ignored aspect of digital technology, housing the equipment to limit the affects of those environmental factors. As stated, digital equipment does have some important requirements to function properly. These requirements can be met, to a large degree, by properly designed housing equipment. Pepro has been able to use its expertise in this field to provide an evolving series of products that make enclosures for digital equipment more effective. Together, these products form a robust enclosure system, incorporating all of the technological advancements for protecting digital equipment. Pepro refers to this system as an Engineered Enclosure System.
Since housing is generally ignored as an issue, the current methods of enclosing equipment are clearly not up to the task of dealing with all of these problems and the aggravating factors. Equipment owners and users have, as a result, used consultants to study the interactions of signals and equipment at these sites to provide solutions by assigning frequencies and trying to mitigate any interactions with available technology. These efforts are helpful and eliminate most problems that can be identified. However, most analysis is based on simulations. These simulations cannot anticipate every problem and interaction that may occur, especially as time goes on and equipment performance changes. Therefore, little has been done to enclose or house these systems and eliminate the problems. This will be of particular importance to mission critical communications used by public and quasi-public entities to maintain essential services. As the problem grows with the growth of digital communications, it will create a greater probability of failure, where failure cannot be tolerated. Better solutions are required.
Cable Entry Gland Retrofit System
With this product line, Pepro has practically solved the problem of housing sensitive digital equipment in suitable enclosures. Current enclosures can receive a minimum level of protection by employing or retrofitting the cable and antenna entry points with our cable entry gland system. To more completely address the threat of lightning,
RFI, EMI, etc. one of our Engineered Enclosure Systems can be employed, either as a stationary or mobile enclosure. This allows the deploying party to address two different regimes of concern: permanent presence in remote areas and deployment to temporary situations. Furthermore, the enclosures and their ancillary equipment like the antenna mast have been designed to provide a minimum environmental footprint, reducing compliance costs and regulatory difficulties. Also, the overall design has been done with efficiency in mind, and Pepro has effectively reduced maintenance and deployment costs for properly housing digital equipment in the field. In one form or another, these enclosures have been in use since 1992, and not one communication system has been lost due to a failure with the enclosure system. Therefore, Pepro must be recognized as the state-of-the-art supplier in this product area.
