Mining operators adopting the digital transformation of their operations and creating the so-called ‘Connected Mine’. The World Economic Forum has forecasted that the digital transformation of mining operations will add $425 billion to the industry over the next five years. The advent of the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the digital transformation.
JRC’s fixed Private LTE, Tactical LTE Box™, and LTE Relay offering allow a customer to deploy a solution that is uniquely different from what other vendors offer in open cast mining (surface) operation.
The unique patent pending Technology features that feature in JRC’s product offering are:
Multi Bubble technology and Our bubble technology features in-band wireless communication our portable equipped.
Devices fitted with the relay feature extend your network coverage and increases the number of concurrent users for the network.
Your onsite assets (equipment) essentially form part of your private network.
The draglines in the two pits are equipped with our Tactical LTE Box™ that sets the network within the pit area and manages all connected devices and multi-technology communication devices in the pit.
The haulage trucks equipped with our relay technology set up an ad-hoc network link between the primary network and the independent secondary network. When the in-band link is established data, communication, and network management are assumed by the primary network and all data from the secondary network is shared with the primary network’s servers. Once the haulage truck is in the pit and losses its in-band communication link with the primary network the secondary network then assumes the management of the haulage truck.
Our patent-pending multi-bubble technology enables a private network operator to replace nomadic trailers and reduce operational costs.
