Total E&P Indonesia selects Entel ATEX MPT1327
E&P’s head office in Jakarta has purchased Entel’s trunking HT886T ATEX full keypad model for its oil and gas operations in Indonesia.
The client, supplied by Team Simoco UK, needed an I.S. radio product that was compatible with TeamSimoco MPT1327 infrastructure, but also required a durable radio that offered submersibility.
Before investing, officials from Total – the world’s fifth largest producer of oil and gas – conducted their own trials of the Entel HT886T alongside equivalent I.S. portables offered by Tait and Motorola. Thanks to its build quality and its high capacity Lithium–Ion battery offering intelligent battery communications, the Entel HT886T eventually emerged as the front runner.
The project involved 1250 hand portables, which were supplied with a range of accessories, including ear–defending headsets and submersible remote speaker microphones.
Entel has long been a dominant player in the international ATEX radio market, making major inroads into intrinsically safe applications for blue chip multinational companies, worldwide, on land and at sea. Its Series 2.0 ATEX radios, ranging from basic, to high tier, as well as trunking variants like those chosen by Total E&P in Indonesia, all benefit from this proven track record of engineering excellence.
