The Hytera 4G LTE Intelligent Communications Solution for Mining, the company claims, offers an integrated platform capable of supporting a wide range of audio, video, data and M2M/IoT applications suitable for surface, strip, open-pit and underground mining.

Hytera reckons its solution can help the industry realise the benefits of digitisation. “It provides a highly transportable end-to-end broadband solution including terminals, network, data centre and command and dispatch centre”. It is also capable of supporting sophisticated automation, data analytics, and all the voice, video, data and M2M/IoT applications used in the mining industry.

The fully 3GPP-compliant 4G/5G solution provides a complete wireless broadband network including radio access network (RAN), backhaul, LTE core, device and network management. Multiple services can be run simultaneously over the high throughput and resilient 4/5G network, including: Mission Critical Push-to-X (Voice/Data/Video); real-time video streaming; telemetry/SCADA; and M2M/IoT sensor monitoring. Low latency transmission rates (< 100ms) enable precise control of remote automated operations.

The various technologies can all be managed using one unified command and visualized dispatch centre and a remote control centre, which receive and distribute real-time information from and to the field operations. The network infrastructure also supports intelligent data analytics and artificial intelligence applications, Hytera claims. hytera.com
