Mining
Unearth Intelligence Driven Mining Communications
A worker above ground needs to communicate with a worker underground. Precious minerals need to be sent to the proper location. Haul trucks, excavators, and loaders are operating at full force creating unwanted noise. Push-to-Communicate with voice and data that instantly connects people, applications and machines across mines for more informed decisions. When you supercharge first-in-class voice communications from Motorola Solutions with the Internet of Things Intelligence, you can connect mining operations beyond everyday push-to-talk for even more optimized operations.
Oil and Gas
Fuel Intelligence Driven Oil and Gas Communications
From the oil rig to offshore platforms, and everywhere in between, having mission-critical technology at the heart of oil and gas operations is a crucial first step towards increasing safety and operational efficiency. A digital oil rig augmented with Internet of Things intelligence helps drive better and faster decisions that can make all the difference. Efficient wireless voice and data communications help workers offshore and onshore securely reach out and be reached - so emergency calls can get to the right person immediately upon recognition of an issue, no matter the device, no matter the network, no matter the location.
