Unlocking the power of mobile private networks
Mining is at the forefront of a digital transformation, driven by new technologies that optimise operations, enhance safety, and facilitate sustainability.
In this evolving landscape, Mobile Private Networks (MPNs) are emerging as a critical enabler, connecting vital assets in challenging environments where poor connectivity is common. These networks address coverage gaps that can disrupt operations, impact productivity, and increase safety risks. Communication blackouts often result in costly project delays and the need for retrofitting infrastructure post-deployment.
MPNs provide robust, high-speed connectivity across every part of a mine site—whether it’s the pit, processing plant, accommodation village, or underground operations. They support essential applications such as high-speed data transmission, voice communications, real-time monitoring, remote equipment control, and autonomous operations, creating a seamlessly connected environment for workers.
By introducing a secure, high-bandwidth network, MPNs empower mining companies to harness advanced technologies like IoT sensors, AI-driven analytics, and fleet management systems. This ensures continuous connectivity, even in the harshest conditions, enabling operations to become more efficient, safer, and more sustainable.
A better approach to connecting every corner of your mine
From the surface to deep underground, Pivotel’s Mobile Private Networks (MPNs) deliver high-bandwidth, reliable connectivity and expansive coverage that traditional networks cannot match.
“At Pivotel, our MPNs provide reliable, secure, and scalable high-speed infrastructure designed to optimise every aspect of modern mining operations while enhancing worker safety in the field,” said Pivotel’s Head of Mining Solutions, Matthew Frontino.
“These advanced solutions ensure seamless coverage across open pits, processing plants, remote monitoring sites, and underground tunnels. By connecting workers, equipment, and systems in real-time, Pivotel’s MPNs facilitate smooth communication and the uninterrupted flow of critical data. This tailored approach supports mining operations at every stage, from exploration to extraction and beyond.”
Radio Frequency Coverage Surveys for optimised connectivity
Pivotel’s comprehensive Radio Frequency (RF) coverage surveys are designed to optimise network performance for both new and existing mining operations. Using advanced assessment techniques, these surveys provide critical insights that help asset owners design, implement, and maintain reliable communication systems across their sites.
“The goal of Pivotel’s RF coverage surveys is to enhance safety, reduce downtime, and drive operational efficiencies and cost savings, while laying the groundwork for future scalability,” explained, Frontino.
“These surveys ensure that critical network infrastructure not only delivers reliable connectivity where it’s needed but also has the capacity to support future mine expansion and upgraded networks as operational demands grow or technologies evolve.”
Complementing these services, Pivotel offers 24/7 Australian-based support and proactive network management to keep operations connected and running smoothly.
