Tait Communications develops solutions that enhance safety, increase productivity and minimise downtime for mines worldwide.
We have been designing, manufacturing, installing and supporting effective, reliable communications solutions in the mining sector for more than 50 years. These robust, integrated voice and data systems are the result of intensive research, in conjunction with mine operators globally.
With extensive experience in delivering large-scale projects, Tait collaborates with customers and partners to customise communications solutions for challenging environments.
Digital critical communication networks for the mining sector
Mining organisations worldwide have embraced the benefits of digital radio networks, although some well-established analogue radio networks are still operating in various mining sites. Tait offers advice and expertise in designing and managing seamless upgrades from analogue networks to feature-rich digital systems.
The most common digital radio technologies in use in mining environments are DMR (Digital Mobile Radio) and P25 (Project 25). Both solutions offer robust, interoperable and secure mission-critical communication platforms that deliver workforce efficiencies and operational benefits for mining operations.
This narrowband technology can carry both voice and data, as well as integrate with other broadband networks for optimal communications. Tait offers a complete end-to-end solution to meet the unique organizational requirements in mining.
Mobile communications for mining vehicles
The great reliance of mining companies on vehicles calls for a sophisticated mobile communications solution. With so many resources associated with each vehicle and the rise of vehicle automation, mining companies demand a mobile solution to support the next generation of speech and data applications.
While providing additional degrees of internet connectivity, the Axiom platform lets miners use their current mobile radio investment and reap the benefits of broadband or LTE networks
Rugged reliable communications for the mining industry
From industry-leading portable radios to rugged smartphones, Tait supplies the devices and networks that mining users need to complete the job safely and effectively in hazardous environments.
Our voice and data applications work together to keep your resource production moving with increased efficiency.
We also have a range of applications and features available to help improve the safety of your workforce, such as our man-down alarm and intrinsically safe devices.
Highly secure data communications networks
Cybercrime and terrorism are emerging security threats that miners, government and all industry groups, must confront. All Tait platforms prioritize security. Our DMR and P25 systems include encryption and user authentication, device and user access control, and comprehensive traffic and network access logging.
