RAJANT AND ESG SOLUTIONS OFFER NEXT-EVOLUTION SEISMIC AND MICRO-SEISMIC DATA-TO-SURFACE MONITORING FOR UNDERGROUND MINES
Rajant Kinetic Mesh Wireless with ESG Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Testing Successfully Completed at Canada’s NORCAT Health and Safety Center
Malvern, Pennsylvania (USA), July 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.
