Mines run on the ability to track vehicles and operations, with telemetry and monitoring high on the agenda. Industrial (IoT) networking is the key element for mining and mining camps – the environment is harsh and the network has to be robust to survive in the heat and conditions. ![IPTel\_Industries\_mine](https://iptel.com.au/hubfs/IPTel_Industries_mine.png "IPTel_Industries_mine") ![MS-Slider-D3-Meraki-Access](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/MS-Slider-D3-Meraki-Access.jpg?width=1074&height=1188&name=MS-Slider-D3-Meraki-Access.jpg) [Learn More](https://blog.iptel.com.au/managed-services-d3-meraki-access?hsLang=en-au) ![MS-Slider-D4-Meraki-SD-WAN](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/MS-Slider-D4-Meraki-SD-WAN.jpg?width=1074&height=1188&name=MS-Slider-D4-Meraki-SD-WAN.jpg) [Learn more](https://blog.iptel.com.au/managed-services-d4-meraki-sd-wan?hsLang=en-au) ![MS-Slider-D5-Meraki-Security](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/MS-Slider-D5-Meraki-Security.jpg?width=1074&height=1188&name=MS-Slider-D5-Meraki-Security.jpg) [Learn More](https://blog.iptel.com.au/managed-services-d5-meraki-security?hsLang=en-au) ## Managed Services We have a range of Cisco approved managed services, so can ensure we have the right services to meet your business needs. The following links provide more information on each service type: ## Mines and Mining Camps: Network Overview Mines need wide area communications, which include mesh and over wireless technologies. The industrial and processing complexes have a lot of switching requirements, often connecting to process control equipment and require low latency connections. Mining camp networks are based around delivering services to the mine workers – this is typically television and video services, internet and voice telephony. The key component in a mine camp is “Netflix-Grade” Wi-Fi. ![Minesite Tablet Wi-Fi](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Stock%20Images/Verticals/Mining/Minesite%20Tablet%20Wi-Fi.jpg?width=2000&height=1334&name=Minesite%20Tablet%20Wi-Fi.jpg "Minesite Tablet Wi-Fi") ### Mining Camps Reliable, performance Wi-Fi is the base requirement for camps. Workers are onsite for extended periods, so the ability to access streaming services, video message with family and friends and access the internet help keep staff connected and entertained. Camp Wi-Fi needs to have industrial switching typically, and fixed network and Wi-Fi access from inside the demountable rooms. IP Phones are often installed and TVs may include access to subscription channels, as well as the ability to stream services. Many mining camps have poorly deployed wireless services, leading to high levels of frustration with a service which drops in and out and is unusable. Wi-Fi can be delivered to be reliable and “Netflix-Grade” in a mining camp. ### Industrial (IoT) Networking Apart from the factors of heat, dust and interference, Industrial networking has to be able to operate in a multitude of industrial environments. Underground mines are a typical case in point where equipment must meet regulation to ensure it will not cause an explosion issue. Underground mines change shape quite rapidly and mesh networking is a good technology to provide communications within tunnels, especially where automated vehicles are operating. Industrial equipment means that it can be deployed without the typically stringent requirements of clean and air conditioned environments, allowing the equipment to be installed in the most suitable locations for mine operations. ![Underground Mine](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Stock%20Images/Verticals/Mining/Underground%20Mine.jpg?width=2000&height=1334&name=Underground%20Mine.jpg "Underground Mine") ### Mesh / Vehicle Control Control of vehicles and streaming telemetry from loader trucks and vehicles are important for minesite operations. Cisco FluidMesh is certified for operation in completely autonomous vehicle mines due to its very low latency and make-before-break roaming algorithm. Open cast mines change shape frequently, so the ability to be able to RF model the shape of the mine allows for the most appropriate placement of the mesh access points. Telemetry can include truck telemetry, video from the truck cockpit, location of the truck and telemetry on other systems. ![Minesite Wi-Fi](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Stock%20Images/Verticals/Mining/Minesite%20Wi-Fi.jpg?width=2000&height=1333&name=Minesite%20Wi-Fi.jpg "Minesite Wi-Fi") ## Contact us today for a free quote [Contact Us](https://iptel.com.au/contact-us?hsLang=en-au) ### Need Help with your Network Install?
