• 4G LTE to the Gulf of Mexico
  Charting the Future Course of Opportunity and Infrastructure Expansion -The extension of 4G LTE services to the Gulf of Mexico via fiber optic and deep water networks has transformed the communications market in the one of the world’s busiest and most important energy-producing regions. The past year has seen a handful of leading communications providers announce launch plans for the service through a variety of paths and partnerships. The partnership aspect is critical to this development, as service providers will work side-by-side with their energy industry customers to roll out a cutting edge 4G LTE offering. This session provides an opportunity for attendees to learn from representatives from both sides of those partnerships about the players in the field, their comparative approaches to service roll-outs and what these differences mean to customers, how these services are expected to perform and when the industry can expect 4G LTE expansion to other regions.

• Advanced Fleet Tracking: Observe and Manage Your Assets in Real Time
  Asset tracking solutions can do a lot more for fleet managers than just provide the location of their trucks, ships and planes. Tracking technology has been proven to reduce fleet costs by reducing unnecessary overtime and downtime, improving vehicle utilization, documenting data from routes and stops, enabling digital timekeeping and eliminating fraud. As this technology evolves, more and more industries are integrating asset tracking services to become quicker and more adaptive. This session will cover: new and innovative ways that fleets are using tracking; connectivity and security requirements; the applications and hardware that form the complete tracking system; and user case studies.
