THE MOTOwi4™:WIRELESS BROADBAND SOLUTIONS

Motorola channels a thorough understanding of wireless broadband into providing new and improved products to meet the evolving requirements of the industry. With the MOTOwi4 portfolio of end-to-end wireless broadband solutions, Motorola helps mining companies to maximize communications, improve operational efficiency, control costs, increase productivity and tighten security.

The MOTOwi4 portfolio of complementary high-speed wireless solutions enables mining environments to move and manage IP-based voice, video and data in real time. The result is streamlined operations and data visibility from virtually everywhere, improved personal, premises and data security.

MOTOwi4 provides a robust, scalable, interference tolerant industrial wireless broadband infrastructure. This network has the ability to extend the mobile edge and provide realtime visibility into every aspect of the mining operation

MOTOwi4: CONNECTIVITY NETWORKS FOR MINES

Our MOTOwi4 enable mines to benefit from enterprise-wide coverage and Connectivity. MOTOwi4 solutions connect workers and functional areas throughout the organization, providing improved communication, visibility of critical data and increased collaboration that can significantly strengthen competitive advantage.

Additionally, our new technology offers converged networks for miners. The wi4 solutions enable mine operators to transmit voice, video and data on a single converged IP network. The MOTOwi4 network architecture integrates disparate legacy systems, and offers the industry’s most flexible deployment options including fixed, portable, nomadic and mobile.

Enhanced network security has been achieved through the employment of a wide range of authentication protocols, as well as DES and AES over-the-air encryption standards. MOTOwi4 multi-layered security solutions help operators maintain the high levels of data confidentiality and integrity today’s business and regulatory environments demand.

DISASTER-PROOF MINING COMMUNICATIONS

Business continuity management is made simple with MOTOwi4 solutions. MOTOwi4 networks can be used as backup architectures to help mine operators avoid costly downtime. In addition, they can be quickly deployed when disaster disrupts wired communications.

The continuous availability of data also enables the operators to comply with regulatory requirements for traceability and tracking. The networks adhere to ISO 9000 quality standards.

In today’s increasingly security-conscious mining environments, MOTOwi4 digital video surveillance solutions help protect the safety of personnel and capital equipment. Any combination of mobile and fixed surveillance configurations is supported, helping mine operators enhance safety at headquarters, underground and at remote facilities.
