"By using existing Arcom Controls equipment, meter ticket data was extracted electronically
from the flow computer, transferred over the VSAT satellite communications network using
TCP/IP into a WebSphere® MQ Integrator broker, and then fed into the backend VMACS
application (Oracle database) directly. This is a complete end-to-end integration of the
actual data from the flow computers on the pipeline right through to the backend billing
application. This gives us speed and accuracy of data transfer while we leverage existing
equipment and applications."
