Mining operations are increasingly transitioning to autonomous haulage systems to increase productivity, efficiency, and safety. Private networks are a key component in this scenario, providing a system backbone for secure and reliable connectivity that is capable of supporting the demanding workloads of autonomous vehicles.

Mining operations are often remote, and conditions can be extremely harsh. Unpredictable weather, a constantly shifting configuration, and volatile explosions create an environment where reliable connectivity is essential, but many solutions are difficult to maintain. Mining operations are increasingly transitioning to autonomous haulage systems to increase productivity, efficiency, and safety. Private networks are a key component in this scenario, providing a system backbone for secure and reliable connectivity that is capable of supporting the demanding workloads of autonomous vehicles.

Enhanced safety and security

Mining operations require strict safety protocols due to the hazardous nature of the work environment. Real-time tracking, geofencing and emergency response capabilities help protect machinery and personnel, minimizing the potential for accidental injuries and ensuring compliance.

Private networks provide enhanced security, ensuring that sensitive operational data stays on premise, isn’t subject to external threats, and allows for reliable, rapid communication between autonomous vehicles, command centers, IoT sensors and other devices. This significantly reduces the risk of system failure, unauthorized network access and operational sabotage.

Improved reliability and cost benefits

Downtime in any manufacturing or automated environment can be costly, but in mining scenarios, those costs grow exponentially. Private networks provide dedicated bandwidth access, meaning the operation benefits from consistent performance, regardless of demand. This level of reliability is critical for autonomous vehicles as they navigate complex terrains, communicate between devices, and transport resources throughout the mining environment.

Since private networks can also be tailored to meet the specific needs of a particular site, from managing the unique topography to ensuring signal coverage between vehicles in underground areas, predictive maintenance systems can be utilized to analyze equipment performance in real time. This level of monitoring can help identify and address potential issues before they lead to mechanical failures or stalls.

Reduced latency and consistent connectivity

Low-latency communication is essential for autonomous operations, particularly when split-second decisions mean avoiding a potentially catastrophic collision by providing real-time rerouting. Private networks drastically reduce latency compared to other options, enabling rapid decision-making and more responsive control systems. In a mining environment where conditions can change rapidly and vehicle coordination demands are near-instantaneous, consistent connectivity and responsiveness are crucial.

Along with low-latency, autonomous vehicle mining operations require exceptional system stability. Communication lapses can lead to operational disruptions, safety incidents, equipment damage, and a variety of other dangerous and costly situations. Deploying a private network establishes a dedicated, stable and mission-critical communication system, allowing for streamlined integration with automation platforms, remote monitoring tools and AI-driven decision-making protocols, resulting in a more efficient operation overall.

Conclusion

As mining companies embrace autonomous haulage systems, private networks are becoming the de facto solution. Enabling the secure, reliable, and high-performance infrastructure necessary to support autonomous fleets, private networks are not only future-proofing mining operations but also unlocking new levels of safety, efficiency and profitability, paving the way for a more sustainable mining industry.

Rapid advancements in smart automation technology continue to impact industry verticals, and utilities are no exception. There is a growing demand for utilities to provide critical infrastructure in an efficient, secure and reliable manner. But they also must maintain grid uptimes while ensuring that end users can easily access and monitor their utility usage in real time.

Private wireless networks offer efficiency, reliability, and security enhancements to the utility vertical by delivering smart technology and automation capabilities and essential features that increase protection against cyber security threats and improve worker safety.

After talking with our member companies and examining the utility vertical, we’ve identified the top three benefits for utilities deploying a private wireless network:

Enablement of Smart Technology Applications
Using a private network, utilities can deploy advanced applications, supplementing their current methodologies for collecting and responding to data from their grids. For instance, drones, smart meters, sensors, and other equipment connected to a private network, can easily moderate the entire grid from any location and efficiently address and resolve concerns. End customers can also make use of these modern monitoring technologies to view their utility usage and make rapid adjustments.

Increased Protection Against Cyber Attacks
As the utility grid becomes increasingly automated with an ever-increasing number of devices and applications accessing the network, potential exposure of the entire system to cyberattacks also grows. A private network allows utility operators to have increased control over their network, providing the ability to install additional cyber security features and applications – like identity and access controls – to protect against these threats.

Improved Worker Safety
The increased amount of automated equipment and applications made possible by deploying a private network improves worker safety by allowing utilities to promptly identify and address issues remotely across the entire grid. Private networks also provide workforce management with reliable connectivity and a secure communication channel.

In short, the role of private wireless networks within the energy and utility sector is growing as companies are increasingly inclined to establish their own private networks for greater control and ownership of their communication infrastructure. Likewise, it’s proving to be a dependable solution to support grid modernization and other operations that enhance systems security and overall worker safety.

The Alliance for private networks is championing the global industry adoption of private wireless networks in any available spectrum. Our deployment resources and tools accelerate digital transformation and are available to utility managers hoping to identify new methods for improving their operations. Explore our resources and tools on the Alliance website and contact us today to learn about available options.

Enterprises are turning to private networks to drive their digital transformation. By leveraging private network technologies, industry verticals can create intelligent, dynamic, and flexible systems that offer a range of benefits, including speed, reliability, low latency, security, mobility, and indoor and outdoor coverage. However, enterprises cannot always access licensed spectrum and public networks do not always meet the coverage and reliability requirements of complex enterprise environments.

Status of locally licensed, shared, and unlicensed spectrum

Spectrum is a necessary piece for deploying private networks. The management of spectrum is typically categorized into three types:

• Horizontal sharing, which can allow exclusivity for spectrum access. In this case, the use of spectrum is coordinated and locally licensed spectrum is an example.
• Vertical sharing, where spectrum usage occurs according to different priority levels. Higher priority must be protected from harmful interference from usage at lower priority. This approach is used in the US 3.5 GHz CBRS band, which has three priority layers.
• Unlicensed spectrum, where spectrum is shared dynamically with mitigation techniques for interference, such as Listen-Before-Talk and power restrictions.

Shared spectrum access is managed by the local government and other regulatory bodies. For example, the US has dedicated the CBRS band for private network deployments. Germany, Japan, the UK, Denmark, and others have also allocated specific spectrum bands for private networks.

Figure 1: A Global Snapshot of local licensed or shared spectrum available for private network deployments

Leveraging licensed, shared, and unlicensed spectrum

Shared or licensed spectrum alone cannot serve all the use cases needed in industry verticals. Unlicensed spectrum combined with licensed spectrum can provide enterprises with increased efficiency, flexibility, and reduced cost.

Figure 2: Unlicensed spectrum availability worldwide.

Technical challenges of spectrum allocation

Unfortunately, many countries have not made licensed spectrum available for private networks, leading to a lack of coordination on spectrum availability and challenges for enterprises looking to deploy private networks across different countries.  

As part of our goal to promote the global industry adoption of private networks, we encourage regulators and other governing bodies to make spectrum available to fit a wide range of use cases, performance, and deployment. By considering the following framework, regulators can stimulate access to and meet the growing need for private mobile networks across industry verticals:

• Lower the barrier to entry of spectrum access by facilitating timely access to affordable quality spectrum to meet the increasing needs and use cases.
• Promote the development and testing of innovative use cases and services by opening access to new spectrum bands by issuing test licenses.
• Advance regulatory actions that facilitate a level playing field to local network operators with different stakeholder saliences.
• Provide improved flexibility and scalability required by the novel use cases through varying service level parameters and customer value.
• Develop and utilize automated authorization and spectrum management processes to deliver timely and equal opportunity access and high efficiency for network deployments.
• Support the creation of automated marketplaces to stimulate the reuse of unused spectrum resources and reduce transaction costs associated with spectrum leasing.
• Encourage researchers to develop technical solutions that address real-life spectrum access challenges in specific bands with incumbent systems by promoting the sharing of knowledge.

See you in Rotterdam!

The Alliance for private networks recently sponsored the “Why should your enterprise deploy a private network?” webinar hosted by RCR Wireless News. During the webinar, Asimakis Kokkos, Alliance Technical Specification Group Chair and Head of Technology Ecosystems at Nokia, explored the benefits of private networks for enterprise use cases and highlighted the resources and tools our organization develops to support their efficient deployment.

If you were not able to attend the live webinar, the recording is available via RCR Wireless.  Given the active interest from participants, we’d like to share additional answers to questions that we did not have time to address during the webinar:

Q: If two networks can have the same PLMN-ID, how does the scenario with a SIM card flagging an issue when switching networks that you described not occur?

In the case of MFA PLMN-ID, there are other additional identifiers that the Alliance will provide that will be separate and orthogonal between the networks. The flag in the SIM will not be “fail to connect to the home network”, which would require a reset, but instead, it will be “attempt to connect to another network”.

For Release 16 5G S-NPNs (Standalone Non-Public Networks), there is a formal mechanism to distinguish between networks using a shared PLMN-ID via a Private Network Identifier (PN-ID). Our Alliance provides unique PN-IDs as part of our set of managed identifiers, to support S-NPNs with minimal trouble.

Q: Could you share some use cases on a hybrid network (using an N77/78) and an operator’s core?

This depends on what we mean by a “hybrid” network. If it means a shared radio between a private network core and operators’ core, then the Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) feature can be used. This is used when an enterprise wants to build its own private network and wants to also connect to an operator. MOCN is a form of a Neutral Host Network (NHN) and the more popular of the various options for a Neutral Host.

In this context, a hybrid network adds a private network core to the setup and has the private network acting as one of the networks served by the NHN.

There are some features added to 5G that allow private networks to be deployed over an operator’s core network – specifically, network slicing. 5G allows you to divide a physical network into multiple isolated virtual networks. This would allow the operator to deploy a private network for your use, and they own all the hardware. It’s ultimately up to the operators if they support slicing.

If by “hybrid” you mean LTE(4G) and 5G on the same network, this is termed “non-standalone” (NSA) by the 3GPP. In this scenario, an LTE network provides the command-and-control link, with a 5G channel added on for additional speed/capacity. A lot of the initial 5G deployments were NSA, though pure Standalone (SA) networks are becoming more common.

Note: MOCN and slicing are not tied to the band/channel.

Q: In the example you gave in the USA Husky Airport and replacing 39 Wi-Fi Access Points with 6 LTE stations, is this capacity related or as a result of improved coverage? Is this operating standard macro station power?

It was performance-related as Wi-Fi did not perform well in their mission-critical applications. Please download this case study for more information.

Q: If the private network does not require to be roaming outside the coverage area why does a private network require a PLMN-ID other than 999 which the ITU dedicates to private networks? Can you elaborate on the alternative PLMNID option that Nokia has acquired and whether that is more useful for multisite or roaming options?

If the device stays on-premises, then this should not be a problem. If the device goes out of the private network premises and there is another private network nearby with the same PLMN-ID (e.g. 999XY where XY are the same numbers as the home private network), it will likely try to connect and be blocked. With shared PLMN-ID, such as our Alliance PLMN-ID, you avoid this issue as there are additional identifiers, such as tracking area codes, base station numbers, etc., that are provided to help the device realize that it is another network.

As noted, using the 999 PLMN-ID is an option, if the devices stay on-premises and another network is not set up in the area that uses the 999 PLMN-ID. It’s a valid option if you have physical control of the location, devices don’t leave the premises, and you have good “buffer” areas around your location.

Private cellular networks provide next-level coverage, low latency, device density, consistent reliability, mobility, and security that enterprises and industry verticals are seeking to successfully achieve their automation and digitalization goals. In this blog, we explore the top three benefits private cellular networks offer for mining operations.

Communication challenges on mining sites with automated equipment are multifaceted. One major hurdle is the vast and often remote nature of mining operations, where equipment may be scattered across expansive areas – including underground tunnels – making it difficult for team members and equipment to maintain consistent connectivity. Physical obstacles, such as rock formations and tunnels, can hinder signal propagation, leading to signal dropouts and serious latency issues. Additionally, the noisy and dynamic environment with heavy machinery operation and explosive blasts can disrupt wireless communication systems, affecting the reliability of data transmission. Overcoming these challenges requires the deployment of robust and resilient communication networks able to adapt to the harsh conditions, ensuring seamless connectivity for the efficient operation of automated equipment and, more importantly, the safety of personnel.

1. Reliability and coverage in extreme conditions
   Remote environmental monitoring is the number one driving use case for Industry of Things (IoT) adoption by mines. Private networks are able to endure the extreme weather and environmental conditions of mining operations. Compared to other options, private networks cover a larger area, requiring fewer access points for the pit, and are not sensitive to explosive blasts. In other words, private networks maintain consistent coverage – even in extreme weather conditions and remote locations.
2. Automation and device monitoring
   
   Automation and electrification in mines require dependable networks that can withstand extreme environments. Private networks enable automation in the pits, supporting tasks such as tele-remote and autonomous drilling. Automation also helps prevent potential failure by sharing vehicle information indicating upcoming service requirements and preventing potential failures and other issues. Additionally, connected systems can follow a vehicle, flag the type of material that is loaded, and alert the driver if they are going to the wrong place to dump their haul, ensuring quality performance and avoiding wasted time. Using a private cellular network to help automate these heavy-moving vehicles, massive drills, complex machinery and equipment provides the reliable, low-latency connectivity in both indoor and outdoor environments – ensuring full control without any blind spots.
   
3. Data and worker safety
   Private networks help keep sensitive data safe from cyber-attacks. Additionally, they enhance worker safety by providing reliable connectivity and help improve productivity and decision-making thanks to efficient processing of sensor data that can be rapidly collected throughout the mine.

By ensuring uninterrupted communication even in the harshest environments, enabling seamless data exchange, and enhancing safety measures, private wireless networks can be an ideal solution for mining sites. The integration of automation and device monitoring not only boosts operational efficiency but also provides real-time insights into equipment health and performance. These advancements are pivotal in ushering mining operations into a safer and more cost-effective future.
