Bentek Systems

What Bentek Systems does

Bentek Systems Ltd. is a privately held Canadian industrial automation specialist headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, operating under the SCADALink brand with more than 25 years of history and over 10,000 installed sites across Oil & Gas, Water & Wastewater, Mining, Environmental, and Manufacturing applications. The company designs and integrates industrial wireless SCADA and telemetry systems for remote monitoring and control of sites that often lack cellular coverage, combining its proprietary SatSCADA satellite platform with cellular, licensed/unlicensed radio, and Starlink connectivity options. Its product portfolio spans RTUs and wireless I/O (RIO100, RIO900, IOT100), data concentrators and terminal servers (DC100, IP100), a deep line of Class I Div 2-certified data communication devices (RS232 splitters, RS485 converters/hubs), satellite and cellular modems, remote solar/TEG power systems, and packaged solutions such as SCADAFlow, PUMPLink, and PumpMate.

The company's business model blends one-time hardware and software sales with recurring SCADA hosting, cellular/satellite airtime provisioning (as a Telus Mobility dealer and Inmarsat IsatData Pro partner), and engineering and field services including systems design, RF path studies, RTU/EFM programming, panel fabrication, installation, and maintenance. Software products such as the SCADALink Locator coordinate-conversion suite are sold across freemium, perpetual license ($1,200), monthly subscription ($325/month API), and enterprise tiers. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales in Western Canada, supported by an e-commerce storefront at scadalink.com and carrier/channel partnerships for connectivity. Most pricing is quote-based, and the company holds sector-specific certifications (Class I Div 2, CSA, EUB Directive 17) that act as regulatory moats for hazardous-location oil & gas deployments in Alberta.
