Mining and Quarrying

Mines and quarries need high-tech excavators, cutting-edge bulldozers and state-of-the-art communications. Unlike other applications, however, mining operations measure size in square miles, not feet. This presents a huge challenge for wired solutions. The cost to deploy wires across such a large area would obviously outweigh the benefit. Plus, mines and quarries are always on the move. A communication solution needs to be flexible, scalable and durable enough to keep up.

With wireless mesh technology from Azalea, wireless broadband is a reality, even in the most remote locations. From telecomm voice communications with no service interruptions to wireless broadband Internet access and real-time video surveillance capabilities, operations become more efficient in no time.

The Azalea solution is simple to install — choose a location, attach the routers, power on and upload the logistics management system. This easy-to-implement approach enables logistics operations to experience seamless coverage in locations where communication was once thought impossible.

Routers can be used indoors and outdoors, are easily moved and configured and even offer solar panels if electricity is not yet available in a specific area. Furthermore, once an area is excavated, routers can be packed up and moved to another site, with no complicated installation required.

The Azalea Advantage

Azalea Networks' wireless mesh technology solves the problems associated with wired and alternative wireless networks.

Experience technical superiority & focus
Azalea‘s proprietary technologies deliver high-speed broadband and video access over long distances. Wireless mesh is more affordble and easier to deploy, making it a compelling mode of transmission. In addition, Azalea can deploy routers in remote settings with no power by adding solar panels to router towers.

Enhance the distribution/customer relationship
Azalea operates through and supports distributors, resellers and system integrators. This allows customers to maintain existing, trusted relationships.

Take advantage of a cost-effective structure
Azalea engineering and production teams are a blend of U.S. and China-based expertise, combining the best technology at the greatest value to the customer.

Eliminate the need to deploy countless wire lines
Historically, networking an environment meant deploying a large number of wires. With Azalea wireless mesh solutions, often only one wireless mesh router is physically connected to the wired network, saving both time and money. With Azalea's routable genuine mesh technologies, network topology is completely flexible, allowing users a choice in wired gateway placement for maximum cost effectiveness.

Expand or optimize coverage — anytime, anywhere
With Azalea, there is no need to implement an entire network in just one step. Azalea technology enables the coverage of key areas first and can be easily expanded to other areas as appropriate. Azalea is able to raise the ratio of network usage, reduce the difficulty of network deployment, and lower the initial investment.

Ensure maximum network reliability with genuine mesh technology
Azalea wireless mesh is self-healing through Azalea patent-pending AWR™ routing mechanisms. This makes the mesh network fully routable and flexible. If any radio link fails, another route will automatically be created. With Azalea, no one single point of failure will affect the network performance, unlike most commonly used tree topologies from other vendors.

Maintain continuous network service
Azalea’s patent-pending Motrix™ roaming algorithm supports high-speed roaming in a Layer-3 implementation. This allows individuals to use Wi-Fi terminals for high-speed Internet access while on the move. An automatic roaming algorithm ensures that there is no disruption to voice, video, or data transmission.
 
Supports enterprise-class security
All Azalea wireless mesh equipment supports existing 802.11i standards such as Open, WEP, WPA-TKIP, and WPA-AES. Adhering to enterprise-class standards ensures that data transmitted over the airwaves remains secure.
