Case Study
NORCAT Underground Centre
A private wireless-enabled operating mine for technology development, testing and training
Learn how Nokia has joined forces with NORCAT and CENGN to install and operate an industrial-grade private wireless network in NORCAT’s Underground Centre to:
Accelerate mining innovation and enhance safety, sustainability, efficiency and productivity in underground mines
Provide ubiquitous coverage and reliable communication in narrow drifts and ramps to keep miners, surface personnel and machines connected
Support all mission-critical and business-critical applications on one industrial-grade infrastructure, ensuring a smooth transition to 5G
Design radio network and site layout, and define traffic models and application-level performance metrics
Develop and test digital use cases, such as mustering, underground asset tracking and autonomy
Building private wireless networks for tomorrow’s digital mines
Nokia, NORCAT and CENGN have joined forces to deploy an industrial-grade private wireless network in the NORCAT Underground Centre, a global hub for mining innovation and training. The new 4.9G/LTE network provides the performance and coverage that underground mines need for mission-critical communication and Industry 4.0 automation.
Read this case study to learn how private 4.9G/LTE networks solve the challenge of providing ubiquitous connectivity in underground mines. It explains how the Underground Centre will use its network to enable visitors to showcase, test and get training on new technologies that will advance mining operations worldwide.
