MegaFon launches Private LTE at Udokan copper deposit

2022: Launch of a dedicated Private LTE network on the territory of the Udokanskaya Copper enterprise

MegaFon built on the territory Udokan copper of Trans-Baikal Territory "" into a dedicated network LTE for stable communications and automation of production processes. The project of a private wireless network for large to the country fields copper is implemented on the basis of a packet core developed. This was domestic Scientific and Technical Center "Proteus" reported on March 22, 2023 by MegaFon.

Operator installed technological a network providing full coverage production of the territory: the quarry and the technological complex of the future - it is mountainmetallurgical the plant, which includes an enrichment plant and a metallurgical plant.

In total, the field has 6 base stations with a wide range of frequencies supporting 4G, as well as backup communication channels. It also uses indoor solutions and other technologies that provide high-speed information transfer both indoors and outdoors.

In 2018, MegaFon implemented the project to construction Private LTE and has extensive experience in introducing private networks for different. industrial industries The growth of this standard is due to the fact that it guarantees safe conditions for the collection, transmission and processing big data of telemetry received from different production points. A closed network is highly resistant to interference, meets current requirements information security and allows you to scale the coverage area with less cost and time. This is a unified, sustainable and closed environment, which is important for strategic mining and industrial enterprises.

This is the first project to build a dedicated wireless network for industrial production in the Trans-Baikal Territory. Large enterprises are increasingly choosing Private LTE to organize internal processes - due to its high reliability and security, as well as expanded opportunities for digitalization of production. The private network for Udokanskaya Copper is built on the equipment of a domestic vendor, which allows you to quickly make changes taking into account the emerging production needs, said Natalia Taldykina, Director of Corporate Business Development at MegaFon.

The system will ensure high efficiency of thermometric monitoring of soils, monitoring of permafrost condition, control of technical parameters of power systems. It guarantees constant wireless video surveillance, which means compliance with the highest security standards. The introduction of the system will allow the company to extend the solutions to the technological complex of the second stage of MMC Udokan, as well as to a number of auxiliary infrastructure facilities, for example, a rail base, noted the general director of the company "Udokanskaya Copper" Alexey Yashchuk.
