A journey to cellular and the safer, smarter, more sustainable mine
Newmont partnered with Ericsson to create a private 5G cellular network architecture to support its smart-mining plans across multiple sites. The private cellular network architecture eliminates the functional limitations and cost constraints of legacy Wi-Fi, providing predictable, high-throughput connectivity for production‑critical workloads above and below the ground.
Autonomous mining: What it takes to scale beyond the pilot
As mining accelerates toward autonomy, connectivity is emerging as a critical prerequisite for autonomous operations at scale.
Axis + Ericsson: Increase security, safety, and operational efficiency with 5G-Connected video solutions
Ericsson Enterprise Wireless Solutions and Axis Communications deliver secure and flexible surveillance camera deployment over private 5G networks
Connected Mining
Our report shows how to break new ground in smart mining. Ericsson, together with Komatsu, Epiroc, and Arthur D. Little examine use cases that will realize Mining 4.0 with the help of a 5G-ready network. We assess five high-value use cases: autonomous vehicles, real-time condition monitoring, remote-controlled drilling rigs, unmanned drone inspection and smart ventilation control.
Driving fertilizer production to help feed the world
Nutrien improves worker safety and productivity with private 4G LTE network across its underground potash mines.
Epiroc, Ericsson and the mine of the future
Ericsson and Epiroc share a strong, long-term commitment to helping mining companies automate and digitalize their operations. Close collaboration between the two companies has led to the development of a robust and reliable cellular-based communication concept for the mining industry.
Ericsson Private 5G connectivity is transforming mining
What does the future of mining look like? It’s connected. Mining sites are among the toughest environments for connectivity—but that’s exactly where Ericsson Private 5G is making the biggest impact.
From signal to insight: The digital mine blueprint
Traditional mining communications (VHF/UHF, scattered Wi-Fi, isolated monitoring) can’t deliver continuous, reliable connectivity for data-driven operations, safety systems, and autonomy — leaving costly blind spots across vast, shifting environments. Ericsson Private 5G and Becker-LASEC Smartflow provide an integrated path to real time visibility, safer workflows, and continuous decision making from surface to underground.
Mining without blind spots
In today’s competitive environment, mines cannot afford to operate without complete visibility. Precise indoor positioning provides the foundation for safer, smarter, and more efficient mining.
Operationalizing private 5G in mining
Private 5G networks are rapidly proving their value in transforming mining operations, enabling reliable, low-latency connectivity across vast and remote sites. By supporting real-time automation, autonomous vehicles, wireless smart sensors, advanced analytics, and remote operations, private 5G empowers mining companies to address safety, productivity, and sustainability challenges in ways previously not possible with legacy communication systems.
Private 5G deliver robust connectivity for autonomous mining
Mining companies face mounting pressure to increase output while maintaining safety, sustainability, and efficiency. Ericsson Private 5G delivers high bandwidth, low latency, and reliability needed to power these advances across surface and underground operations.
