Which network solution is best for a coal mine?

For hard rock mines and tunnels, we offer the N-CONNEX network solution, which ensures seamless underground Wi-Fi coverage. On the other hand, coal mines benefit from our intrinsically safe product line, known as NetPort, which is designed to meet the strict safety standards of these environments.

Why should mine communications systems be updated?

Updated mine communication systems can go beyond compliance by improving operations data and real-time production status resulting in greater production efficiency, improved machine learning datasets, and even more robust safety. No two mines are the same and communications systems need to be tailored to these differences.

How do physical characteristics of underground mines affect communication systems?

Studies of the physical characteristics of underground mines reveal the impact on which communication systems will be used for underground mining. Regardless of whether it is a mine face, drift or entry, the presence of some minerals (coal, limestone, iron, etc.) differs from the perspective of radio communications.

What is a digital mine map?

A digital mine map tracks the movement of these devices, displaying their whereabouts and direction of travel underground in real time. The StrataConnect Server and Graphical User Interface (GUI) are at the heart of Strata’s communication system. These facilitate communication between surface and underground operations.

What is a digital mine messaging application?

This combination of safety and functionality ensures that workers in potentially explosive environments can communicate effectively while minimising risk. The Digital Mine Messaging Application by NLT is a versatile solution for facilitating direct messaging over various platforms in underground settings.
