The Role of CBRS in Mining: Enhancing Connectivity and Efficiency
In the mining industry, staying connected is a necessity. Workers need to communicate seamlessly with engineers and staff, both on-site and off-site. They use tablets, cellphones, scanners, and various other devices. For safety and communication, reliable connectivity is crucial. This is where Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) comes in, offering a solution for mining operations.
Uninterrupted Connectivity for Optimal Operations
Mining sites are often large and remote, making it hard to maintain continuous connectivity. Traditional Wi-Fi networks struggle to cover such vast areas and ensure smooth roaming between access points (APs). This is critical for Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs), which need uninterrupted connectivity to work efficiently. Cellular networks using CBRS frequencies provide a strong alternative, allowing for smooth handoffs between APs and covering larger areas than Wi-Fi. This improved connectivity boosts productivity and safety on-site.
Rapid Setup and Deployment
IP Access International’s private 5G solutions, using CBRS frequencies, allow for quick setup of private wireless networks. These networks integrate easily with existing enterprise IP routing and follow current network security policies. A key feature is the ability to configure Quality of Service (QoS) settings at the device application level. This removes the need to set up the Access Point Name (APN) for each application, making the deployment process faster and easier.
Satellite Backhaul: Ensuring Connectivity in Remote Locations
Mining operations are often in remote areas with poor cellular and broadband coverage. Traditional solutions like microwave links or fiber can be very expensive. IP Access International addresses this issue by offering satellite backhaul solutions at a lower cost. This ensures a reliable connection, even in the most remote locations, keeping mining operations connected and efficient.
