Solutions · Mining and quarrying
Above ground or underground, in a mine or a quarry, the radio has to work every time. We design it and install it.
Teleproject designs, builds, and maintains professional DMR and TETRA radio networks and coverage systems for mining and quarrying operations, above ground and underground, backed by over twenty years of experience in mission-critical communications.
The three challenges of running a mine or a quarry.
What a mining or quarrying operation has to guarantee every day, above ground and underground.
Coverage in underground environments
In excavation drifts and at underground levels the radio signal does not propagate on its own: rock, distance, and bends all attenuate it. Without engineered coverage, the crews underground stay cut off from the surface.
Personnel safety
Anyone working alone at the excavation face must be able to raise the alarm and get help at any moment: this calls for terminals with safety features linked to the control room, wherever the type of work requires it.
A lasting investment
The system has to last for years and be serviced without stopping operations: what counts is the quality of the components, the technical documentation, and scheduled maintenance. Where areas are classified as hazardous, the equipment must be rated for that use.
What happens when you open a new excavation face.
A real-world case: from checking radio coverage through to coordinating the crews and supporting the systems.
We measure coverage before you start
Before the site is set up we check where the radio signal reaches: with field tests and propagation models we size the systems needed to cover the work areas, above ground and underground.
Coverage reaches underground
We carry the DMR and TETRA radio networks all the way to the excavation face with DAS and radiating cable, so communication stays continuous even where the outside signal cannot reach.
The crews stay in touch
Every operator works with their own radio terminal, programmed for the site networks. We supply, program, and maintain the crews’ radio fleet and, where required, terminals with safety features for lone workers.
The control room coordinates operations
The operator follows the crews from the Respondr console, which brings the site radio networks together at a single operator position: one interface to talk with those on the surface and those working underground.
The systems stay under support
After installation the work continues: the Track-TP platform gathers the status of the equipment and radio networks on a single dashboard, and support contracts keep the systems maintained over time.
The systems we put in the field.
Every solution has its own detail page: here you see only what it does for an extraction site.
- Control room
Radio rooms and dispatch
We build the control rooms for extraction sites with Funktronic consoles and the Respondr platform: the site radio networks and crew coordination at a single operator position.
- Operational radio
DMR and TETRA radio networks
We design and build the radio networks for mining and quarrying: DMR Tier II and Tier III systems, TETRA trunking, and VHF/UHF links, from design to maintenance.
- Underground coverage
DAS and underground coverage
We design and install DAS and radiating cable systems to carry radio coverage all the way to the excavation face, where the outside signal cannot reach.
- Personnel safety
Lone worker protection
Terminals with safety features for lone workers, linked to the control room: alarm and emergency call wherever the type of work requires it.
- Classified areas
Solutions for hazardous areas (ATEX)
Where areas are classified as hazardous, we supply ATEX-certified radio equipment rated for the job.
- System monitoring
Supervision with Track-TP
A web platform that shows the status of network equipment, radio networks, and site sensors on a single dashboard, with real-time alerts.
- Radio terminals
Radio fleet supply
Supply, programming, and maintenance of the crews’ radio terminals: we are an authorized reseller for Motorola Solutions, Hytera, and Kenwood and the exclusive Funktronic distributor for Italy.
- Before the tender
Radio coverage study
Propagation models, link budgets, and system sizing: the technical documentation you need to plan the site coverage and present the project in a public tender.
Our systems integrate with the plant you already have.
No closed systems: we use open protocols, let different technologies coexist on the same infrastructure, and work with the certifications that public tenders require.
Multiprotocol on the same coverage
TETRA, DMR, and VHF/UHF coexist on the same coverage infrastructure: your existing investments stay valid even when the radio technology changes.
Integration with site systems
The monitoring systems interface with the operator’s supervision platforms via SNMP, relay contacts, and APIs: the alarms land where you already work.
Certifications and credentials
Teleproject is a company certified to ISO 9001:2015 and qualified under SOA OS 19. The Respondr and Track-TP platforms are designed in line with the NIS2 directive and the ISA/IEC 62443-3-3 standard.
