ESTeem industrial wireless networks are ideally suited for the difficult operating conditions presented by today's mining applications. Read the slideshow to learn why.

1. Mining Applications for Industrial Wireless
Networks

2. The harsh conditions, long distances and ever-changing terrain of
mining applications create serious challenges for communication
networks. Industrial
Difficult Challenges
wireless networks,
however, were designed
to overcome such
challenges. ESTeem’s
industrial wireless radios
are a particularly good fit,
with a full range of
operating frequencies to
choose from.

3. Success Stories
Open-pit mining, where the frequently changing terrain requires moving
radio locations, is an excellent application for ESTeem radios.
Changing locations is difficult with “hard-lined” communications like
fiber, whereas our radios can be moved to new positions with relative
ease.
Our wireless networks provide communication to mining hardware such
as drilling rigs or stacker/reclaimers.

4. Success Stories
Underground coal mines in mountainous West Virginia are another
application where our industrial radios provide the right solution.
The radios are used to communicate with the mines’ exhaust and
fresh air fans. Without the fans, it’s impossible for people to work in
the mines.

5. Success Stories
ESTeem wireless radios are also used on large mining trucks that are
found in all types of mines.
These vehicles are so large and expensive that they each carry their
own control networks for maintenance.

6. Success Stories
Other mining applications where our industrial radios have been
used include conveyor systems, belt trippers and real-time load
tracking.
In fact, our wireless solutions are as varied as the mining
challenges they overcome.

7. Factors in our Success
We have both high-speed wireless networks and high-powered
licensed radios that can operate over miles of mountainous terrain.
Also, every remote radio in our wireless networks can be used as a
repeater. This allows for communication across very long distances in
difficult conditions, without adding tall towers or specific repeater sites.
Because it supports Mesh networking, the ESTeem Horizon
series provides redundancy and self-healing for all wireless links.

8. Factors in our Success
For applications such as open-pit mining where the base, repeater and
remote locations are constantly being moved, the ESTeem radio
network can operate on either battery or solar systems, providing
needed flexibility.
And our industrial-hardened cases and NEMA4 rating ensure our
industrial wireless radios operate under the harshest conditions.
ESTeem can provide the wireless network you need to succeed in your
toughest applications. Contact us today to learn more.

9. The ESTeem Advantage
For over 30 years, we’ve designed, engineered and manufactured industrial
wireless radios and modems - all in the US and all specifically focused on solving
our customers’ most difficult networking challenges, no matter what the frequency.
Through all of those years, we’ve stuck to the philosophy that applications will not
bend to fit the hardware. The solution must fit the application, and we work with
our customers to ensure they get the right wireless solution to fit their needs.
To that end, all of our models come with full compatibility
baked in (195E/Horizon, 192/195 Narrowband), and we
write our software/OS specifically for the components used
for optimum efficiency and performance.
