The FUTURE of mining communications

I.S. Wireless Network Switch Specifications
The Mine Site Technologies Intrinsically Safe Wireless Network Switch is the heart of a scalable, high-speed, communications system for both underground and surface operations. Designed to cope with time-sensitive, high-bandwidth
applications and enabling functionality such as VoIP, IP video streaming, control system management, mobile dataacquisition, real-time vehicle diagnostics, and asset / personnel tracking right to the coal face. The ImPact Wireless
Network Switch provides a quantum leap forward from traditional technologies by delivering improvements in reliability,
bandwidth, data quality, system capacity and support for open standards. It also addresses the challenge of power
distribution in an underground environment.
