RAJANT AND ESG SOLUTIONS OFFER NEXT-EVOLUTION SEISMIC AND MICRO-SEISMIC DATA-TO-SURFACE MONITORING FOR UNDERGROUND MINES
July 15 2024 - 4:00PM
Rajant Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh® wireless
networks, and ESG Solutions, an industry-leading micro-seismic
solutions provider for the oil and gas, mining, and geotechnical
industries, have completed another round of successful underground
mine testing at Sudbury, Canada’s NORCAT health and safety center.
With Precision Time Protocol (PTP) put in place by ESG, Rajant can
enhance client’s technologies and programs - from communications
and productivity to privacy and security – by carrying
mission-critical data wirelessly from the mine to the surface. PTP
does not perform well and is unreliable on other wireless network
options. With Rajant Kinetic Mesh, PTP performs appropriately to
provide the mining industry with microsecond precision, which is
required for scaling to more advanced, next-generation automation
systems.
According to ESG’s Director of Engineering Chris
Hawryluck, “Offering to our mining clients wireless PTP time
synchronization of our micro-seismic data, as well as the wireless
transfer of the data, will give customers the flexibility to
rapidly and cost-effectively expand a micro-seismic monitoring
system to new excavations in a mine and lower network maintenance
costs.”
Rajant Sales Director for Canada Darrell Gillis
adds, "Both PTP and wireless communications are critical for
large-scale automation. Rajant's extremely low latency and high
reliability are essential for enabling wireless PTP over multi-hop,
mobile wireless networks. The practical application for this is to
eliminate fiber runs from sensors at remote areas of the
underground levels. The data packets can now be
transmitted wirelessly from the sensor to the closest
fiber switch at the substation or the shaft station."
Technological advances in underground and open-pit
mining will be on display at MINExpo 2024 in Las Vegas. From
September 24th to 26th, 2024, visit Rajant at the Las Vegas
Convention Center Booth #10741.
