RTC's Communicator for Fall 2019

FALL 2019 13 feeding live data simultaneously to several locations for near real-time monitoring of our facilities. In addition to our data points, we stream high-resolution camera feeds to closely monitor all our locations. “Before we switched to RTC, we faced challenges with the internet service from our previous provider. We had to tune our network systems to ensure priority data could trickle out at a rate high enough to meet our business needs. The tuning resulted in less than desirable network conditions for some facilities. Priority data had to be carefully balanced to avoid contention with other bandwidth-heavy data needs such as camera feeds or employee data traffic.” In Step with Growing Oil Industry In addition to fiber internet, RTC also provides Goodnight Midstream with phone and TV service. What does Goodnight Midstream appreciate most about the RTC customer service it receives? Hornung replied, “As the oil industry in North Dakota has grown, RTC has managed to stay in step. Many of our newly built facilities operate in relatively remote areas. RTC has been extremely flexible when working with us to provide high- speed fiber at these locations. “Over the past several years of working together, we’ve come to admire the service provided by RTC. As our business continues to grow and new facilities are being built, we appreciate having them as a business partner in the quickly evolving oil industry in the Bakken.” Why Customers Choose Goodnight Midstream The energy-producing customers of Goodnight Midstream are seeking trusted saltwater disposal professionals and custom saltwater gathering and disposal systems.
