Owner of the world's largest open-pit copper mine, Kennecott Utah Copper Corporation, has begun rolling out a wireless communication platform to support its mining operations across the globe.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto, the company is implementing a wireless solution to support both underground and open-pit mines.
The solution has been developed by Mine Site Technologies (MTS) in partnership with Rajant Corporation, a wireless solutions provider.
Headquartered in Sydney, MST has an established relationship with Rajant utilizing its BreadCrumb system in a number of successful mine installations around the world.
MST will work with Rajant on wireless feasibility studies, site surveys, aerial mine photography (unmanned aerial vehicles-UAVs), installation, training, maintenance, and operation of BreadCrumb networks.
Rajant's senior vice president of mining, Gary Anderson, said the Rajant network is composed of BreadCrumb devices that form a wireless, meshed, self-healing network for fleet dispatch, health monitoring and other critical mining applications.
