Petrol Station POP

Equatorial provides innovative connectivity and business systems suited to areas with minimal infrastructure. Equatorial's Petrol Station POP is one example. In many countries petrol stations have assured electricity supply from generators and are staffed 24 hours a day. By using Equatorial’s equipment and systems, the petrol station becomes an on-line point-of-presence, permitting the operator to provide the following services:

Automated Refueling Network

This is a nationwide network for ensuring petrol supply to only those vehicles fitted with a wireless sensor and a sensor on the petrol pump. The data is conveyed, on and offline, to a central database which enables operations, central billing and management. It also ties the car fleet operator to a single chain of petrol stations. The fleet operator reduces petrol theft and centralizes petrol expenditure. The petrol station operator has a captive market of users.

Equatorial provides the data network, by VSAT and/or by wireless.
