Challenges
- Wireless coverage for the 20km2 surface area of challenging industrial environment.
- Efficient and safe management of business critical applications and emergency monitoring due to robustness of the site
- Securing connectivity for fleet management, tele-remote drills & dozers and enabling autonomous operations.
Solution
- Fully autonomous private wireless network
- Duplicating the components of private network and securing own radio frequency for maximum reliability, capacity and performance
- 100 % local deployment and geo-redundant core network – minimum impact to network latency and jitter.
“Our remotely controlled drills have limited resistance to delays and interruptions, and the solution we got gave us the stability and performance we needed to keep our operations running.”
