In the Coal Fields of Wyoming, wi4 Mesh Solutions Are Mining Enhanced Efficiency, Productivity and Profitability

high availability

Overview Over more than 200 miles of windswept, desolate mining country, the company needed to connect hundreds and hundreds of assets in real-time. These include mega-sized haul trucks with half million-pound payloads, bulldozers, drilling equipment and the 110-car trains (with each car carrying 100 tons of coal) that leave the sites several times a day. To bring these multiple systems into a single network, the company needed a highly reliable, highly available technology that provided less than 50 milliseconds of latency. The company and 3D-P chose a solution that combined 3D-P's proprietary OHI (Obsolete Hardware Interface) with wi4 Mesh and wi4 Fixed solutions for information backhaul to a central command center.
