Nokia deploys private wireless network to mining operations in Chile

Nokia has deployed an industrial-grade private wireless network with Chile’s Antofagasta Minerals for Minera Centinela at its copper mine in Chile. The network will allow the mining group to accelerate its digital transformation.

The network is to provide a secure connection to a variety of sensors, devices, equipment and vehicles, above- and underground. The network, already in operation after being deployed in a record four months for Minera Centinela, will initially connect a fleet of autonomous trucks. Later it will support an array of operations as part of a five-year digitalisation plan, which aims to transform the mining sector while enabling safe and efficient operations.

Nokia designed and deployed the industrial-grade private 4.9G/LTE solution, including Nokia AirScale radio equipment, mobile packet core, IP/MPLS service aggregation routers and Wavence microwave transmission.
