At the National Coal Mining Museum, keeping history alive means having reliable communication, but ongoing phone outages were preventing that. To tackle this, they teamed up with Time Communications and implemented a cloud-powered Sangoma FreePBX VoIP system. This included 55 advanced handsets and a top-notch reception console, ensuring year-round connectivity. The results speak for themselves: ✅ Zero Outages: No more seasonal interruptions. 
✅ Clear Communication: Incoming and outgoing calls are now crystal clear, every day of the year. 
✅ Cost Savings: The museum will save at least 20% on telephony bills with reduced line rentals and lower call charges.
 ✅ Seamless Support: A unified system means one point of contact for all support needs. Read the full story: https://hubs.ly/Q02QDtQ40 #VoIP #Telecommunications #UC

Boliden a leading Swedish mining company, is teaming up with Telia and Ericsson, as part of NorthStar, to trial advanced control of industrial machinery and vehicles using a private 5G network. This trial aims to explore the potential of #5G in optimizing mining operations at depths of up to 750 meters! 📣🦺 By collaborating with Telia and Ericsson, Boliden seeks to understand the capacity, stability, and security requirements for advanced mining operations underground. The expansion and upgrade of Boliden's existing 5G network in Kankberg will enable the exploration of new technical capabilities such as positioning, network slicing, and edge computing. Stefan Castehav, Senior Development Engineer at Boliden, says: “This is important as digitization is progressing rapidly, and we are using increasingly advanced connected equipment in the mine, which places greater demands on the network.” https://lnkd.in/dekVAQv7 This collaboration underscores the commitment of Boliden, Telia and Ericsson to drive innovation in industrial connectivity.

Automating the mining industry Mine operators face significant challenges with radio propagation and modelling network coverage in open pit mines. Managing the constant changes in the mine terrain is no mean feat, but companies like BHP use ATDI to help. ATDI supplied an automation platform based on its in-house RF planning tool, HTZ Communications to undertake routine radio network planning. The platform schedules and automates processes like collecting new GIS information on the mine’s terrain from a local database and updating the digital terrain model in HTZ to reflect the changes in the mine. This process automatically triggers coverage calculation predictions for their RF networks, including TETRA, DMR, WIFI, P2P, LTE, PMP and line-of-sight analysis. Automation removes the complexity from repetitive tasks, allowing mining companies to focus on their core business. The system triggers email notifications which provide real-time updates on the network and interfaces with their core NMS server. The updated network coverages are automatically created providing an instant view of network status. The platform gives regular network performance reviews and assists with troubleshooting real-time measurements.
