Abstract
Key Findings
Wireless communication can provide field personnel with information while they are performing work. This means that if a crew in the field has a problem, the foreman has the means to consult with the trailer for a solution without having to actually go to the trailer. The faster that answers to problems can be received, the less likely it is that a crew will need to stand idle waiting for information. (RS136-1, p. 36)
If a given transfer of information can be done using hardwired means, it will be less expensive than using wireless technology. If the information is not time critical, then it can wait until a break or the end of a shift when a foreman would normally be going to the trailer. (RS136-1, p. 37)
