Mining Solutions

"Think outside the wire!"

Carlson knows that in the mining business, wires are more than an inconvenience; they can pose safety hazards. That's why our wireless UHF and microwave communications solutions work well for the mining industry, not only for surface communications but also underground, where reflector panels can send the signal around tunnel corners.

We had mining customers in mind when we modified our Trailblazer to operate with GAI-Tronics' Femco and Guardian industrial phone systems for PABX paging. The result is MineConnect, bringing wireless system flexibility to the mining industry's legacy systems. This microwave solution is ideal for open-pit and surface communications as well as operational communications.

Underground mining sites will also benefit from our RuralConnect data radios, using TV white space (available channels in the UHF range) for monitoring, control and broadband via leaky feeder systems.

Aboveground and for remote mining sites, where microwave radios can be used, Trailblazer and MineConnect are proven solutions—and LongHaul TDM can backhaul service 60 miles or more.

With Carlson radios, your overall communication system can help you meet your safety requirements, optimize your productivity and protect your valuable mining assets.
