Mining success hinges on connectivity
New bandwidth intense technology requires reliable and robust Private LTE networks to succeed in today’s challenging times.
Whether mining operations are conducted underground or above, rising inflation, staff shortages, and increased regulations are increasing the demand for technology that streamlines operations. Private LTE networks are a perfect solution for the modern mine. LTE offers the capacity, penetration power, and reliability to overcome mining’s unique challenges. However, most Private LTE solutions are designed for large cellular networks and cannot be customized for smaller deployments. They also lack hardening for hazardous and demanding environments often found in mining applications.
Aviat Networks’ licensed microwave radios, transport routers, industrialized Private LTE solutions, and software are customized to the mining industry’s needs reducing the overall cost of deploying a Private LTE network.
Challenge
Your network infrastructure is your lifeline for employee safety and ongoing day-to-day operations. It must safeguard your business against cyber threats and seamlessly connect people and devices in challenging environments. Numerous and bandwidth-intensive new mission-critical applications for safeguarding and utilizing data assets are being developed. To handle legacy and new application requirements while reducing interruption, managing expenses, and without sacrificing network performance and reliability, you need cost-effective technology that is designed for your needs, not adapted from commercial LTE technologies.
