    Technical Description
    We use the latest access control hardware and software. Access Controllers store up to 44,000 credentials locally to enhance system performance. Leveraging our private broadband network, all devices are Internet Protocol (IP)-based and administered remotely for enterprise-class management.

    Monitored or Un-monitored
    Because we use robust, edge-of-network hardware, your access control solution can work unmonitored. For more demanding applications, you can choose BlackHawk’s Network Operations Center (NOC) in the Oil & Gas Building in downtown Fort Worth.

    Short-term or Long-term
    With skid-mounted solutions, we can provide temporary access control solutions. At any time, you can choose to have more permanent gates and controlled approaches designed into your lease footprint.

    Standalone or Integrated with the BlackHawk Energy Management Solution
    We provide standalone access control systems or you can integrate your access control with our pioneering Energy Management Solution (EMS). The BlackHawk EMS provides advanced video analytics, remote monitoring with data archival, two-way audio, a wide array of sensors (including hydrogen sulfide, oxygen depletion, noise, leak/drip detection) and even traffic management where necessary. The solution allows for remote control of Hi-Lo valves for remote well shut-down as well as complete SCADA, management-use cameras and even corporate WiFi service. Lease operators and business leaders can now manage well operations from their desktop.
