Transforming Mining Operations with Mission-Critical Communication & Worker Safety

Mining operations span vast, remote, and hazardous environments—from open pits to underground mines and pit-to-port corridors. Reliable communication, real-time visibility, and worker safety are essential to ensure operational continuity, rapid emergency response, and regulatory compliance.

MCX ONE delivers a unified, standards-based mission-critical platform that connects workers, vehicles, control rooms, and safety systems across broadband LTE 4G/5G and existing legacy radio networks, supporting both today’s operations and future expansion.

Mining organizations require a solution that can:

• ✔Provide instant, reliable voice and data communication across pits, underground areas, and remote zones

• ✔Support connected worker safety with real-time monitoring and emergency alerts

• ✔Support standalone or meshed deployments as mining sites shift locations

• ✔Integrate with existing legacy networks (TETRA, DMR, VHF) while enabling a phased migration to broadband LTE 4G/5G

• ✔Deliver centralized command & control with distributed resilience

• ✔Ensure high availability, low latency, and compliance with mining safety regulations
