Speakers
Description
- Examining how mining operations are evolving to handle growing volumes of operational and sensor data
- Exploring the connectivity requirements behind emerging applications such as automation, digital twins, and AI-driven analytics
- Reviewing how mission-critical voice and telemetry carried over TETRA can be integrated with the high-bandwidth private LTE/5G networks these new applications demand, and where MCX fits in bridging the two in active mine environments.
- A case study from Sierra Gorda, Chile, where a combined TETRA and private LTE deployment supports safety, efficiency, and the operation's future digital initiatives
