Ericssonโ€™s Private 5G Network Enhances Mining Safety and Efficiency

Award Category: Private Network Excellence in Mining

Winner: Ericsson


Ericsson has been recognized with the TeckNexus 2024 Award for "Private Network Excellence in Mining" for its innovative application of private 5G technology to transform mining operations. This accolade highlights Ericssonโ€™s leadership in modernizing the mining sector through high-speed, secure, and low-latency connectivity that drives safety, operational efficiency, and automation. By delivering private 5G solutions, Ericsson is redefining the mining landscape, enabling digitalization, enhancing remote operation capabilities, and promoting sustainable practices in one of the worldโ€™s most challenging industrial environments.
In a global first, Telstra and Ericsson trialed the AI-powered EACC rApp on Telstraโ€™s live network via the Ericsson Intelligent Automation Platform (EIAP). This AI-driven solution enhances network automation by ensuring configuration consistency in real time, helping Telstra advance toward fully autonomous networks. With AI capabilities for self-optimization and self-correction, the EACC rApp improves network efficiency and reliability, offering valuable insights into the potential of AI in telecom to elevate performance and customer experience.
Telstra InfraCo is constructing a 14,000-kilometer high-speed fiber network across Australia, aimed at significantly enhancing the nation’s digital infrastructure. This $1.6 billion project, supported by a strategic partnership with Microsoft, will connect major cities and remote regions, boosting AI capabilities and supporting various industries. The new fiber network is designed to withstand Australia’s challenging terrains, ensuring reliable connectivity for years to come. Ultimately, this project positions Australia as a leader in digital innovation, enabling a more connected and competitive future.
Newmont Corporation is upgrading its mining operations by replacing outdated Wi-Fi with Private 5G networks, following a successful trial at its Cadia mine in Australia. Partnering with Ericsson and Telstra Purple, the 5G deployment significantly enhances safety, operational efficiency, and scalability in both underground and surface mining. This shift allows for better connectivity, reducing safety risks and improving productivity by supporting more autonomous and remote-controlled machinery. Newmont plans to expand 5G across its global network of mines, setting a new standard in the industry.

Investors seeking to maximize their profits from the potential of 5G should consider a multi-pronged approach and invest in companies that provide 5G network equipment, tower infrastructure, semiconductors, and hyperscalers as well as 5G mobile network operators. Here are the top companies across the sectors that are leading global public/private network rollouts.
Telstra and OneWeb are gearing up for rollout of the OneWeb’s low Earth Orbit (LEO) backhaul to strengthen mobile connectivity across Australia. The strategic alliance represents one of the world’s most extensive LEO deployments, aiming to boost real-time applications and expand network reach in remote areas.
The 5G Future Forum (5GFF) will lead a first-in-the-world demonstration that is expected to change the evolution of music collaboration. Using the 5GFF Edge Discovery Service (EDS) API, which enables devices to identify and connect to the Mobile Edge Compute (MEC) site providing the lowest latency closest to them, the performance will showcase the value of the interoperability of the EDS API, leveraging Open Sesame’s audio platform to sync guitar players across New York, USA (Verizon), Toronto, Canada (Rogers), and London, England (Vodafone).
Telstra CEO Vicki BradyBrady thinks the role of the operator is to become an โ€œecosystem builderโ€ that brings together technologies such as 5G, AI, automation, edge computing, and โ€œan explosion of applicationsโ€. She also warned that if operators donโ€™t change, they run the risk that the โ€œvalue created over our networks gets captured by others.โ€ Indeed, Brady advised operators to get comfortable with the idea of not always being in control of the end-to-end solution.
