Metalloinvest, together with MegaFon, is implementing a project to create a wireless data transmission network at Lebedinsky GOK

Metalloinvest, together with MegaFon, will launch a private wireless data transmission network at the Lebedinsky mining and processing plant. Guaranteed coverage, security, as well as high speeds and low delays in data transmission will automate complex technological processes of iron ore mining and production of iron ore raw materials.

The project plans to place 13 new base stations and conduct modernization of five existing ones, new antenna-mast structures will be erected, fiber-optic lines will be laid.

The Operator will provide redundancy and wide coverage of the network coverage in places where the Company's employees and equipment are most concentrated.

Thanks to the implementation of the project, the specialists of the plant will be able to control the production indicators of machinery and equipment coming from the quarry equipment, even in the conditions of the complex relief of the field.

Our own stable network will increase labor safety by automating complex and dangerous processes for humans. It will also allow the implementation of MegaFon Trunking digital radio communication with a geolocation function to determine the location of each employee in real time, to quickly respond to emergencies.

“Our companies have long and fruitfully cooperated in the field of IT technologies,” said Yulia Shutkina, Director of Digital Transformation at Metalloinvest. "The operator's services help create a unified information environment in production and implement Metalloinvest's innovative projects."

“Private LTE from MegaFon will enable the deployment of a digital circuit of the enterprise at Lebedinsky GOK and will create a groundwork for the implementation of promising vertically integrated solutions. Due to the implementation of this project, the company will be able to abandon the use of other networks deployed at the enterprise, which will lead to cost savings, ”says Natalya Taldykina, director of corporate business development at MegaFon.
