    The document summarizes a wireless sensor network (WSN) product that utilizes mesh networking technology to connect sensors in hazardous mining environments to a mine's existing high-bandwidth network. The WSN uses rugged remote telemetry units (RTUs) that connect to sensors and form self-meshing networks, and gateways that interface the RTU networks with the mine's fixed Wi-Fi network. This allows crucial sensor data to be delivered seamlessly and in real time from hazardous areas to operations.

    The IMPACT technology suite is an industry leader in Specifically created for use in underground hard rock mines, the
    mining communications and digital infrastructure. The WSN proves its worth in difficult areas, and where installing and
    maintaining cabling is challenging, such as:
    Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) utilizes the latest in
    wireless meshing technology to optimize communication • Haulage levels
    and safety systems in hazardous mine environments. • Active ore drives and working faces
    • Areas where remote or autonomous machines are in use
    The WSN elegantly extends the benefits of a mine’s existing, high
    bandwidth network through the WSN self-forming mesh networks.
    The use of 802.15.4 protocol ensures the stable meshing and low
    These networks wirelessly connect sensors in hazardous and
    power consumption, to transmit data from Geotechnical and other
    dynamic parts of the mine back to the main mine data backbone,
    instruments in a simple, efficient and reliable manner.
    delivering crucial information where fixed cables or manual data
    gathering is difficult or dangerous. Data is delivered seamlessly,
    in real time, from the remote sensors underground.
