The need for highly reliable connectivity will only grow as more mining companies embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimise their operations. Smart technology requires reliable access to the cloud, which can be difficult across highly dispersed and remote locations. To embrace smart mining solutions, mining operators will need to find superior connectivity that offers:
2
Low latency
Minimal delay for real-time remote operations and autonomous controls.
4
Stable access
Reliable fibre-equivalent connectivity for IP-based voice and video collaboration.
