CASE STUDY

DIGISHOT REMOTE FIRING WITH NO DELAYS
 BACKGROUND
REDUCED DELAYS AND IMPROVED
COMMUNICATIONS FOR REMOTE FIRING WITH
THE RANGER
One customer that uses the Remote Firing option with
our DigiShot 300 system has experienced troubles over
the years with interference from foreign communication
sources and with the dependability of the antennas.

The antennas for the system can be difficult to store
without the cords being pulled out and are occasionally
mishandled, creating loose connectivity. Interfering
signals from drones, radios, or other devices in the area
sometimes cause lost communications for the DigiShot
300 system, which can result in a delay at shot time. TECHNOLOGY APPLIED
 A RUGGED AND RELIABLE BLAST INITIATION
 The Ranger was the perfect solution for this customer. It’s
 a blast initiation system with a built-in antenna boasting
 a long-range RF of up to 3 km or 1.8 miles, reducing
 communication issues and delays. With flexible tagging
 options, automatic detonator detection, and quick and
 easy deployment, the Ranger is a reliable initiation system
 designed with safety and performance in mind.
