GAI-Tronics RigCom stations are common-talk communication stations built for harsh and hazardous environments such as offshore platforms, drilling rigs and onshore wellsites. They work on a simple push-to-talk, release-to-listen basis. MGQ Telecom is the authorized GAI-Tronics distributor for the UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Iraq, and supplies RigCom stations for oil and gas projects across the region.

RigCom Stations For Hazardous Areas

RigCom is a robust common-talk station engineered for harsh and hazardous environments. It is designed for reliability in extreme conditions and uses push-to-talk, release-to-listen operation. For hands-free use, stations can be configured with an optional footswitch. RigCom is fully compatible with GAI-Tronics EZ Page stations, so hazardous zones and safe areas stay on one communication system.

RigCom UL Division 1

Each station has an explosion-proof enclosure and an optional explosion-proof loudspeaker that also works as the microphone.

RigCom with attached speakers

RigCom with attached Speaker

EZ Page for Safe Areas

EZ Page is a common-talk system for non-hazardous areas. It operates across a wide range of temperatures and AC/DC voltages, supports hands-free operation, and is compatible with GAI-Tronics RigCom. It comes in two standard configurations:

Master/Slave

The Master station controls the talk/listen function of the Slave. The Slave is normally in transmit mode, so the Master can monitor the Slave’s speaker.

Common Line

Every station is on one common talk path, so a user can call everywhere at once. Stations stay in listen mode until someone presses the push-to-talk button.

Offshore platforms and drilling rigs
Onshore wellsites and process areas
Hazardous-area plant that needs simple, rugged intercom
