Rajant and STRACONTech Improve Coverage and Bandwidth at Constancia Mine

Rajant Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh® wireless networks, and STRACONTech, a Kinetic Mesh Partner in Lima, Peru, have increased bandwidth and improved networking coverage at Hudbay’s Constancia Mine in Peru with Rajant’s Peregrine LTE BreadCrumb®.

After reviewing options, the mine selected to invest in Rajant’s solution for mobility, which allows an almost “plug-and-play” integration with the mine’s existing LTE network. “Our mining operation needed a better design for its haulage and loading fleet. With the Rajant hybrid solution, we now have a significant increase in bandwidth, which will allow us to be more efficient.", said Eduardo Rojas, IT Manager in Hudbay.

With the Rajant Peregrine LTE, the mine obtained a 4x performance improvement, going from a limit of 10Mbps with LTE up to 40 Mbps and connectivity on multiple frequencies simultaneously, including LTE. This improves operations so connectivity is not lost with the mining fleet even when interference exists on the 2.4GHz, 5Ghz, or LTE band.

“All mining operations want reliable and scalable connectivity. We successfully improved the performance of the installed LTE network using the Peregrine LTE, which offers the unique benefit of Kinetic Mesh and direct machine-to-machine connectivity.”, added Rajant Vice President of Sales (Americas/APAC) Sagar Chandra.
