Vertical: Mining
Application: Improved connectivity and worker safety
Ecosystem: Ericsson, Ambra Solutions
Private Network: LTE
Canadian agricultural company Nutrien mines potash, a core ingredient in most fertilizers. In their Saskatchewan mine, Ericsson and Ambra Solutions have helped them deploy a private LTE wireless network more than 1,000 meters underground. The LTE solution has replaced a patchy Wi-Fi system, enabling workers to stay in constant communication with the above-ground control room, sending information in seconds that in the past would have taken paper carried manually much longer. The network is helping Nutrien improve worker safety and make mining operations more efficient.
