Coal mine communication 5G base station

Does dahaize coal mine have 5G?

Dahaize Coal Mine will continue to develop its 5G capabilities, including its virtual interaction application, robot clusters, unmanned driving, intelligent wearables, intelligent inspections, smart shearers, and intelligent tunnelling machines.

Can smart coal mines benefit from 5G technology?

As one of the first batch of smart mines in China, Dahaize Coal Mine has demonstrated that even small- and medium-sized coal mines can enjoy the benefits of smart capabilities based on 5G technology with acceptable levels of investment, addressing the high cost and construction difficulty associated with 5G.

Can 5G be used in China's coal industry?

Application of 5G in China’s coal sector has been plagued by issues such as low coverage by conventional frequency bands and high costs – the success of the Dahaize project however demonstrates to the wider industry that 5G connectivity can be effective and cost-efficient in enhancing both production and safety in the country’s coal mining sector.

What is caojiatan coal mine's 5G iCUBE cloud-network integration solution?

In a response to the call for intelligent construction of coal mines, Caojiatan Coal Mine cooperates with China Unicom Shaanxi Branch, Shaanxi ZHIN Technology and ZTE, and adopts ZTE's 5G iCube cloud-network integration solution to construct the 5G communication system for intelligent mining.

Can 5G be used in mining?

Current 5G private networks however are typically of a single frequency, creating barriers to large-scale applications in mining – including higher construction costs and difficulty in realising 5G full coverage in complex scenarios, such as mining faces, turning, uphill/downhill, undulation and blind sides.

How can a single phone card help a coal mine?

By using a single phone card, then, miners can work more efficiently and keep connection with loved ones outside of the coal mine. The project at Dahaize has reduced the need for 4 shearer drivers, 6 hydraulic support workers, and 5 clearance staff to one remote control personnel and one safety inspector.
