Differentiated networking options for underground communication

Strata Worldwide provides a comprehensive range of robust underground communication and data transfer networks, engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern mining operations. 

One of Strata’s key innovations is AI-enhanced Wi-Fi over Coax. Built on the Vernetzen platform, this solution delivers long-distance, linear Wi-Fi coverage through radiating coaxial cable. It ensures seamless connectivity for fast-moving tele-remote equipment, vehicle automation, and stationary industrial applications.  

By reducing handoffs and eliminating dead zones, Vernetzen provides a highly reliable network backbone that supports continuous, mission-critical operations underground. 

In addition, Strata offers UQOMM radio networks, available in both VHF and UHF leaky feeder systems. These platforms are purpose-built for mining environments where clear, dependable voice communications are essential.  

Key features include Digital Headend Combiners with integration to RFoF (DRS) units for extended coverage. Redundancy options to ensure reliable, uninterrupted operation, local diagnostic displays on each amplifier for quick onsite troubleshooting, and optional remote diagnostics for streamlined system monitoring and maintenance. 

Together, Strata’s Vernetzen and UQOMM solutions provide mining operations with the reliability, flexibility, and performance needed for both voice and data communications underground.
