Press Release Body: Sensornet, provider of the world's most advanced monitoring
solutions, announces the launch of its revolutionary Oryx distributed temperature
sensing (DTS) unit, designed for the toughest monitoring needs.

The company, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, designed the unique
system for harsh environments and is ideal for monitoring applications from desert
to sub-zero conditions. Combined with satellite, radio link, or fibre
communications, the Oryx becomes a powerful remote logging DTS unit.

The autonomous, low powered system, able to operate from solar or wind power, has a
continuous monitoring range of up to 5000m and a sampling resolution of one metre.
It can operate in environmental temperatures from -40C to +65C. The housing
enclosure is IP66 rated or above to ensure weather and dust proof deployment.

The Oryx boasts a wide range of flexible communications options and a direct link to
PCs or laptops. Set-up, channel configuration and measurement can be performed
remotely, eliminating the requirement to be in the vicinity of the DTS unit at the
wellsite location. Additional on-board memory ensures a high quantity of
measurements can be taken, ideal for "drive-by" collection of data where a
communications system would be cost prohibitive.

The Oryx DTS is part of Sensornet's range of digital monitoring solutions to ensure
that every monitoring requirement is met, specific to any need, environment and
challenge.

Mark Watson, Sensornet's vice president Middle East commented: "The Oryx is the
latest addition to our market leading range of DTS systems. It offers the most
robust and reliable performance to ensure every remote harsh environment monitoring
requirement is met."
