Overview

The number of surface (open-cast) mines is decreasing, while more costly deep mine numbers are on the rise. New mineral resources are becoming scarcer and fewer high-quality ores are left to exploit. This has forced mining companies to explore deposits in more remote and harder-to-access areas, which are often located in harsh environments. Many existing mines are reaching the end of their life with the quality of ores reducing, meaning the production costs per ton of ore are increasing. The risks, lead times, and operational costs are therefore higher. Mining companies continue to face operational challenges. Maintaining productivity in the face of declining ore grades, increasingly expensive exploration, heightened sensitivity to environmental as well as unprecedented cost volatility and regulatory oversight requires more sophisticated solutions and systems used to keep operations running smoothly. Digital technologies emerged as the right solution to create a platform for innovation and collaboration.

Hytera Mining Solution focuses on four major usage scenarios: integrated platform, connected workers, remote operation center, and instant communications. By bringing together data from on-field physical assets and enabling off-field remote and virtual access, mining companies can improve their abilities to analyze real-time information, augment their digital capacities and create platforms to integrate their data, analytics, and workflows.
  • Sophisticated Automation

    Sophisticated Automation

    The use of communications technology in the mining industry can be divided into three main areas: automation; in-pit mobility; and data centric analytics. Digital communication technology is widely seen as having a major role to play here in helping to simplify processes, reduce risks, cut costs and improve margins.

  • Data Analytics

    Data Analytics

    The basic building block for increased mining digitization is to invest a converged communications platform capable of providing broadband speeds and supporting multiple data, voice and video applications. Analysing big data connected to this platform helps managers in decision making to maximize efficiency, productivity, safety and profitability.

  • Workforce Safety

    Workforce Safety

    Modern technologies used in the mining can actively support real-time monitoring of people, machinery, and mine conditions. Constant two-way communication systems are a necessity that allows miners, support groups and control rooms to be in continuous contact.

  • LTE Network Solution
  • Transportatble Solution
  • Imesh Broadband Solution
  • Converged Solution
  • LTE Wireless Broadband Network Solution

    Hytera provides a complete end-to-end LTE wireless broadband network solution based on fully interoperable 3GPP LTE industry standards to provide fast, secure, real-time audio, data and M2M/loT communications. It meets LTE QoS requirements for carrier-grade network design with full consideration for redundancy and availability to ensure a robust and reliable network. The solution is also fully transportable and can be set up in minutes, which makes it highly suitable for the mining industry.

  • Transportatble Solution

    Hytera's innovative LTE transportable infrastructure solution integrates these three key components into one intelligent and reliable integrated base station (iBS) unit weighing just 26.5kg. This provides a very affordable and very flexible broadband solution capable of supporting the multitude of voice, data and M2M applications used in the mining industry on a single, unified and cost-effective platform. The iBS is a less costly unit than a macro eNodeB. It saves space, power and reduces operational costs (OPEX).

  • Imesh Broadband Solution

    If there is no solid network coverage available, Hytera's iMesh broadband self-organizing network solution can be used to provide a mesh network. The iMesh is a fast deployable, portable solution supporting high throughput voice, video and data applications. No cables are needed as the nodes link wirelessly together. The iMesh solution can be used to provide additional coverage and capacity to the existing LTE network or to provide coverage in blind spots.

  • Converged LTE/LMR Networks Solution

    Hytera Mining Solution also enables convergence with legacy LMR networks such as TETRA and DMR. This enables mining companies to get the best of what narrowband and broadband networks can offer - high quality, mission critical push-to-talk over both LMR and LTE/Wi-Fi voice calling and broadband video calling and multi-media messaging. The solution also provides convergence network management, so one tool manages both the LTE and the LMR side.
