California, U.S.A., December 2015 – Ethernet Direct Corporation, a professional and primary provider of industrial networking and communication solutions shares our success stories involved in deploying Falcon series Industrial wireless devices in different applications especially in Mining systems.

Safety has long been a controversial issue in the mining business especially with sub-surface mining. In the modern mining solution, wireless access points are used to communicate with a central management system. They will be mounted directly onto heavy duty mining equipments and will relay information to the central survey system. The need for robust IP-68 housing is to protect the device from the harsh outdoor environment – weatherproof, waterproof, dustproof. To secure information, a certain level of encryption is vital. In mining, parameters related to security must be measured and monitored on a real-time basis.

Mining industry involves many processes, from drilling into the earth mining for copper ore, extracting, and delivering to the market. As an industry leader in Industrial Ethernet technology, Ethernet Direct demonstrates proven expertise in both switching and wireless technologies by deploying several wireless applications in mining located in Australia, Indonesia, South Africa, Canada and South America.

The Falcon Industrial Wireless Access Points are used in the project deployment to communicate with a central management system. Outdoor wireless access points are mounted directly onto heavy duty mining equipment and will relay information to the central survey systems. While indoor wireless AP/s are situated in remote stations and connected to the FWO units. With innovative technology design, Falcon wireless offer high data rate and can link separate networks to create a single expanded LAN network cost wise and efficiently. Accurate data is transmitted and monitored with synchronization. Data are processed to ensure reliable operations. Mines are located in harsh environment in mining areas; wide operating temperature switches are required to perform safely. All wireless devices operate reliably from -40 to 75°C. The need for robust IP-68 housing protects the device from harsh outdoor environment – weatherproof, waterproof, dustproof.

A complete selection of devices caters any given application and industrial wireless solution is becoming popular. The Global Ethernet Direct team is rapidly gaining momentum in the Industrial Ethernet field with the teamwork formed by industry experts and professionals with proven experiences.
