MILFORD, Conn.--(Business Wire)--
Skymira LLC, a leading provider of state-of-the-art satellite and cellular
technology solutions for the seamless management of remote operations, today
announced that Compressco, a leader in the oil/ gas compression sector, has
commissioned the firm to provide a monitoring solution utilizing over four
thousand Skywave DMR 800D terminals. Skywave is the industry`s premier
technology solution for remote equipment monitoring in the oil and gas
industries, in addition to other sectors where monitoring of field operations is
essential to the corporate bottom line.

Compressco, one of the world`s leading suppliers of production enhancement
solutions for marginal and low pressure oil and gas wells, selected Skymira to
streamline its information management processes originating from North American
locations of its GasJackTM compressor installed base. The DMR800 works
seamlessly with SCADA / Telemetry on compressors, enabling companies like
Compressco to retrieve remote information in one common data stream from oil and
gas well worksites around the globe, in real time.

"Customer success stories from the oil and gas industries demonstrates that
field operations can be successfully streamlined to achieve a rapid increase in
productivity levels and ultimately greater overall profits," said Robert
Landsfield, CEO, Skymira, LLC. "The agility of the Skywave DMR 800D product
enables it to work with numerous industry applications, including telemetry
monitoring and SCADA control systems, guaranteeing valuable, real-time and
efficient oversight of remote operations at global worksites," added Landsfield.

"The implementation of Skymira`s Skywave 800D solution allows us to monitor
compressor performance remotely, decreasing response time for repairs and
significantly increasing the level of service we provide to our customers." said
Chris Anderson, Technology Manager at Compressco. "Of the sources we looked at,
only Skymira`s TailorFitTM solution was capable of addressing the specific
back-end data format Compressco required, making the award to Skymira an easy
decision," added Anderson.

The Skywave DMR 800D solution provides global wireless/ satellite coverage of
communications with field workers and real-time monitoring of equipment and
pipelines with the tightest information security precautions in place. Featuring
coverage in over five ocean regions around the world, Skywave`s low power
consumption is ideal for applications requiring long battery life. The solution
complements remote, fixed or mobile applications on land or sea and it is
tailored specifically for optimal asset tracking of fleet management. Harnessing
drive messaging for real time delivery coordination, the device enables remote
communication from hazardous applications and unmanned sources such as
intermodal containers, trailers or marine buoys. It seamlessly integrates with
telemetry monitoring and SCADA applications, and is tailored for long periods of
autonomous operation and compatibility with most data loggers and sensors.
