3D-P, a provider of technologically-advanced onboard open-sourced computing platforms and wireless networks, has announced a successful deployment of 802.11n wireless network at Ft. Knox gold mine for Kinross Gold, a Canadian-based gold mining company. It is the first successful deployment of its kind in a surface mining environment.
After careful consideration and consultation with the Ft. Knox mine leadership team, it was determined that an 802.11n network would best suit the requirements of the mine, and help to achieve both Kinross’ short-term goals and its long-term objectives and initiatives for the mine. This decision was based on two factors: the increasing demand for higher throughput requirements from intensive data-driven applications currently onboard the mobile fleet; and the need to meet Kinross’ future bandwidth requirements for additional applications.
