Hostile RF Environments

A mine is usually a bad place for RF performance as the rate of RF signal absorption is exceptionally high. To add to the challenges, there is always interference from existing communication systems to deal with.

Dynamic Landscape

The ever-changing landscape often disrupts connectivity as line-of-sight issues start to emerge. The huge machineries also block and reflect wireless signals, making the the RF planning process more complex.

Deployment Complexities

Due to deep and open pit mines, near or non line-of-sight radio connectivity is a prerequisite. Most mines also lack the infrastructure and backhaul resources to fully support the communication system because of their remote location.

The Motorola Advantage

In order to reap the benefits of real-time wireless data, video and voice connectivity in a mine’s huge area of operation containing mobile machineries, you can trust Motorola’s proven portfolio and experience to ensure a more reliable, mobile and adaptable mining operation.

Motorola’s Mesh Networks provide real-time data on productivity and material output from trucks and other equipment, adding significantly to cost efficient operations. Communications are enabled from the office to the pit face for immediate responses and better productivity.

Real-time equipment diagnostics allows proactive troubleshooting as well as preventative maintenance and, in turn, minimizes costly repairs and prevents productivity losses.

With Mesh Wide Area Networks, safety will be enhanced as the extraction of GPS data from vehicles assists route optimization and safety. Real-time video surveillance also ensures the safety of all personnel and aids in emergency management.
