ABSTRACT
Wireless connectivity is a key element in the journey towards the digital mine where more and more industrial devices are expected to be connected to this new productivity web. For many years, private high speed wireless networks in industry have been possible thanks to the largely worldwide deployed standard IEEE802.11, popularly known as Wi-Fi. This paradigm is now about to change, and it’s changing rapidly. This paper aims to offer a high level overview of this new technology called LTE, how Epiroc will interact with it and why it is becoming so popular especially amongst big mining operators.
