Introduction
The DHW mining enterprise want to improve their communication system with an emergency and flexible communication system without relay on their fixed infrastructure. With this system, once the special event happen, it can be immediately work for ensuring constant communication. IWAVE was selected and supplied IP MESH solution to build a private communication link for enhanced mine field and miner safety.

Background
According to the [2010] No.146 file- construction of the coal mine underground safety risk “six big system” issued by the national coal mine security bureau, all the mine enterprises need to guarantee personnel can be notified in time and a reliable communication link for the risk-averse personnel during disaster period. Each mine enterprises need to construct and improve the mine communication system.
Challenge
Providing expanded coverage, better reliable communication link, more functionality, and intrinsically safe products
Coal mine industry has always been one of the pillar industries in China. Because of the severe underground working environment for miners, safety accidents often happen, which brings great loss of life and property to the society and people.
The mining enterprise needed a more reliable network with wider coverage, better indoor nlos coverage, and the ability to support advanced features and functionality.
The new system had to be capable of delivering reliable, consistent coverage up to a 5km radius of mine field to deliver hd surveillance video streaming and real time voice communication between command center and underground miners.
Besides the reliable and seamless communications between the surface and underground areas of operation. DHW also wanted the ability to track personnel inside the mine tunnels.
The DHW mining enterprise also needed rugged and durable wiress radio units able to operate safely and continuously in the high humidity and wet working environment of the mines.
Solution
IWAVE selected command and dispatching system, 2x2 MIMO manpack IP MESH and handheld type ip mesh radios based on UHF. The bodyworn camera provides video capture, GPS and voice communication.
The bodyworn camera will be wirelessly connect with MESH Radios via WIFI within 10meters rang. One MESH node support multiple units bodyworn camera to access. In this way, only one member carry the MESH node, other people around him can communication with people on surface with video and voice.
The command and dispatching system will be installed in the monitor center on surface. With it officers will know who is speaking and where is him in real time.
Benefits
Besides the original communication system based on infrastructure, now the DHW mining enterprise has a fast deployment communication system. It can begin work one key push to ensure the miners can be immediately informed once event happen.
This MESH communication system ensures reliable communications between the surface areas and underground operations. This helps deliver more efficient operations, better productivity and an enhanced safety regime for mining personnel.
The mimo IP MESH radio and boddyworn camera are waterproof design, which delivers a better communication network at the mines and wider coverage to ensure there are no communication ‘not-spots’.
