Telemetry FHT

The Fast Hybrid Telemetry (FHT) links the surface panel and downhole sensors via half-duplex communications. It’s the fastest telemetry in its class, with a Wireline Bus (WLB) up to 400 kbps for cased hole (up to 800 kbps for open hole) and an internal One-Wire Hybrid Bus (OWB) at 1.5 Mbps. FHT can interleave analog packets with digital ones, supports Warrior (SDS), and offers Version A (up to 120 kbps / 500 kbps) and Version B (up to 400 kbps / 1.5 Mbps).
