Dynamic Wireless performs FIFO (Fly-In-Fly-Out) wireless services for remote mining sites and communities. Having performed such services for mine sites across Australia, South America and Asia, our Principal Consultant is able to fly in at short notice to perform one of the many wireless services for his clients.

 

The Case for Wireless in Mining

 

Communications combined with rugged mobile computing in the field, greatly increases productivity and safety while reducing a mines maintenance costs and downtime. Mining operations can benefit from a range of applications using wireless network technology, including:

​

  • Wireless Mesh Coverage for Autonomous Haulage Systems (AHS)

  • Quick and Scalable Outdoor Mesh Coverage for In-field Network Access

  • PTP and PTM Wireless Bridge Links Between Buildings or for capacity injection into the wireless mesh network

  • Miner Tracking

  • Equipment Tracking

  • Dispatch Operations

  • Fleet Management

  • Vehicle Information Management Systems (VIMS)

  • Equipment Health Monitoring

  • Video Surveillance Monitoring

  • Operator Communications

  • Worker Accommodation​

​Our Principal Consultant has extensive experience designing wireless communication solutions for remote mine sites across Australia, and provides a range of wireless services suitable for this type of environment, including:

 

  • Indoor donga/field hut wireless coverage design - using Ekahau Survey Pro software, coupled with Ekahau's Sidekick dual-radio with spectrum analyser. 

  • Outdoor Ekahau Sidekick GPS-calibrated wireless surveying of existing wireless mesh coverage - using Google Earth or client supplied high-resolution aerial photos.

  • Remotely operated autonomous vehicle survey and troubleshooting - using our all-in-one Rugged Autonomous Survey Tool - a rapidly deployable drag-n-drop IP68 survey solution, 8+ hour battery powered survey time with 356 Kg of vertical mag-mount force for attaching to trucks & loaders, for 100% remotely operated outdoor wireless surveying & troubleshooting!

  • Outdoor wireless mesh coverage design (using fixed and mobile trailer) - including defining the bill of materials for hardware.

  • Outdoor wireless mesh propagation prediction modelling - using DXF/SHP digital terrain models or other vector file type, generating 90%+ accurate RF prediction maps overlaid in Google Earth.

  • Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless bridge link design and path profile calculations using digital terrain model data. 

  • Up to 8-metre tripod mounted access point pre-implementation wireless surveys - for highly accurate coverage result measurement.

  • Extensive underground pre-implementation and post-deployment wireless surveying, and wireless LAN controller (WLC) optimisation. 

  • Spectrum analysis of 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies - ensuring equipment is configured to optimal interference-free channels. 

  • Wireless LAN controller (WLC) and access point optimisation.

  • 4G/LTE outdoor drive testing - to measure quality-of-experience (QoE) metrics such as RSRP, RSRQ and throughput, and plot them on a Google Earth map.
