•    Software-defined architectures are the most cost-effective way to add real-time decision-making and monitoring to the unpredictable and often challenging business of large-scale mining operations.
•    Controlling large mining equipment through fast, secure and reliable communications creates operational efficiency and is the gateway to autonomous mining. 
•    Mining companies urgently need to effectively transition into the new era of communication and autonomy through core capabilities such as monitoring performance, improving human-machine interactions, optimising operational efficiency, minimising total costs, ensuring security, and maximising throughput.
