Mining

DataNet offers integrated mining site communications solutions for all mining phases, from exploration and survey to site construction and production operations in a cost-effective manner to achieve:

  • Safety
  • Security
  • Higher production
  • Reliability
  • Improved miners morale and retention
  • Machine lifecycle support

DataNet provides communications solutions that enables safety, security and production efficiency in the most extreme and challenging of environments, keeping any electrical equipment working. Our solutions will enable mining companies to successfully deploy reliable backhaul and on-site access communications to support applications such as: VoIP, real-time video feeds for operations, monitoring of mobile equipment telemetry, fleet management, sensors reporting condition of industrial heavy equipment into SCADA systems, video surveillance and centralized control and autonomous reaction.

DataNet integrates remote mining sites into the mining headquarter network and supports on-site access communications by seamlessly blending satellite-based (broadband VSAT, and satellite phones), wireline (fiber optic) and wireless (cellular, WiFi and self-meshing radio networks) communications technologies to improve efficiency, safety, security and miners morale. DataNet can also provision any equipment, from ruggedized terminals and laptops to cell phones.
