Nerospec SK Success Through Connectivity

A connected mine begins with world class connectivity. Without the ability to communicate, share critical insights and liaise with colleagues no amount of agility, autonomy or operational innovation is possible. Nerospec SK was challenged by a mine site with a high degree of iron in the minerals, to achieve usable underground Wi-Fi coverage. The Mine’s previous attempts had not exceeded more than just a few metres, despite the support from university and technology experts. The challenge was set and Nerospec SK never turns away from a challenge. Nerospec SK’s solution, the neroPOYNT, installed in the mining tunnel, is a purpose built Wi-Fi beamer antenna and achieved previously unseen results providing Wi-Fi technology that works in a working mine!
