Norphonic Heavy Duty VoIP Telephones provide reliable two-way communication in demanding underground mining environments, supporting production, safety and emergency response.
Industry context
The success of a mining operation depends on effective two-way communication. Reliable communication helps maximise production, prevent disruptions and support the safety of mining workers. Norphonic VoIP mining telephones are designed for demanding underground environments and can be integrated into existing IP networks.
Underground mines can be exposed to extreme temperatures, dust, water, humidity, grime and corrosion.
Reliable communication is essential for daily operations, emergency situations and mine rescue efforts.
Underground mining areas can extend several kilometres below the surface, with long horizontal tunnels and remote working areas.
how it works
A typical underground mining communication system can combine robust VoIP telephones, signalling systems and leaky feeder communications. Norphonic telephones can be connected along a fibre optic network, either in a line to a PBX or in a circle formation for network redundancy. Telephones can also be installed in refuge bays and alongside signalling systems.
solution
Norphonic Heavy Duty VoIP Telephones are built for extreme temperatures, humid and dirty environments. The IP65 telephone has a durable aluminium casing resistant to rust, condensation and corrosion, with a hook switch designed without moving parts. Self-monitoring, fault checking and remote maintenance help reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
Reliable voice communication between miners, working areas and the central control room.
Telephones can be installed in underground refuge bays used during emergency evacuation situations.
