Mining

The Next Generation of Mining is Here

Telecommunications is transforming the industry, incorporating new digital technologies that create efficiencies and reduce costs.

Most mining processes can be highly automated or remotely operated, but automation and digital resources by themselves are not enough. Mining telecommunication solutions must be partnered with a network that meets the low latency, high-reliability and security demands of new digital devices and software.

Ensuring a mining operation has access to an industrial-grade, reliable, scalable, flexible, and secure telecommunications network is the first step toward automation. It allows for projects that can monitor and provide analytics to improve planning, production, processing, logistics, safety, and sustainability.

Arctic Case Study

The Aitik Mine in Sakajarvi, Sweden has leveraged automation capabilities to become the most efficient open-pit copper mine in the world.

  • 2,000 hours/year in drilling operations
