NLT Digital for Underground Operations

Real-time voice communication improves safety, maximizes productivity and drives operational efficiency.

Installing an N-Connex network allows a mine to use digital IP-based radios, which connect to Wi-Fi.

Standard IP-based phones and emergency phones can also be directly connected and powered via N-Connex’s PoE (Power over Ethernet) connections.

The NLT Digital network provides a high-speed fibre backbone to handle demanding data requirements.

The network is scalable to grow with you and is very easy to add new sections, create managed redundant loops and provide WiFi in hard to reach places.

A mine can use any device compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards on the NLT Digital network.

Safety and productivity hinge on knowing the location of people, vehicles and assets.

The NLT Digital network, in combination with Digital Mine software, enables visualized tracking in near real-time.

Management, safety or emergency personnel can use the tracking data for safety and productivity on the worksite.

A mine needs to monitor environmental conditions to make informed production and safety decisions.

NLT partners with leading providers of environmental, ventilation, gas and geotechnical monitoring systems for innovative, reliable and accurate solutions.

The NLT network provides a robust and dependable data highway that enables simple telemetry and automation of equipment.

Monitoring and controlling electrical equipment such as fans or pumps results in considerable cost savings and improved efficiency. Additionally, automating equipment saves time, improves safety and enhances productivity.

N-Connex supports IP cameras to monitor critical locations underground or on the surface.

Your team can connect the cameras via Ethernet or Wi-Fi to the N-Connex network for real-time video.

N-Connex provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) so your team can connect IP cameras directly without requiring external power.

Ventilation on demand (VOD) enables a mine to modify ventilation conditions based on real-time environmental parameters and tracking information.

A mine can save significantly with lower energy consumption because VOD supplies air when and where needed.

For example, when personnel or a vehicle enter an area and the gas and/or air-flow monitoring detects insufficient fresh air, additional ventilation fans can be automatically turned on or have their flow rate adjusted.
