Underground mining benefits from ecosystem-based, end-to-end solutions to fulfill specific requirements for sensor-driven connectivity and augmentation such as last-mile connectivity, temporary coverage, and low-bandwidth coverage for areas without Wi-Fi.
\nCisco Spaces provides location and telemetry data for indoor and outdoor use cases. This data produces connectivity, environmental, and location-based insights for ecosystem-based solutions.<\/p>\n

Opportunity with GeoMoby<\/h2>\n

Reduction or elimination of gaps in network connectivity and communication
\nAll-in-one 3D map and real-time location, including existing Cisco tags and infrastructure
\nConvergence between OT\/IT: traffic management, ventilation automation, IoT sensors, data collection, etc.
\nNew solution blueprint that extends value for customers using Cisco solutions and specialist ecosystem partners such as GeoMoby<\/p>\n

The common goal of GeoMoby and Cisco is to accelerate the digitalization of the mining industry.\u00a0GeoMoby uses, extends, and enhances Cisco technology within mining operations. The result is a readily implementable mining platform that enables continual optimization of operations and safety in underground mining.<\/p>\n
