Communications are an essential part of a mine's safety and operational management. In these challenging environments, wireless communications are advantageous to cabling due to robustness, coverage, and capability to communicate with mobile personnel and vehicles.
Thus, both measurements show sufficient network coverage for underground mine communications. Moreover, the mining machinery can be equipped with base stations to further expand the network to the blind areas at the ends of the stope drifts.
The management, monitoring, and control of the mining operations as well as the planning of the excavation play an important role. Communications bind all these operations together to maximize productivity. Various classifications of the communications systems in underground mines have been made.
Underground mining operators have expressed the need for wireless connectivity to support a wide variety of use cases, including simple and basic connectivity for personnel, remote drilling and blasting control over autonomous and tele-remote-controlled vehicles, and person-to-person voice and video communications.
Next-generation wireless systems have been actively researched in the context of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs have been studied with the aims of improving safety and productivity and reducing operational costs in underground mines (Chehri et al., 2009, Bhattacharjee et al., 2012).
To get the best out of these technologies and the digital applications they enable, mining companies need high-performing wireless connectivity in the mining areas. But many mines still rely on legacy networks that weren’t created to address the demands of ultra-broadband and mission-critical use cases.
