Read MoreEnsham Resources Wireless Network Design
Ensham Resources wanted to formally issue a request for proposal, evaluate responses and select a preferred vendor. They were looking for a robust process with a pragmatic approach to vendor evaluation and selection. COSOL was engaged to assist in this process due to their remote site based experience, clear understanding of the scope of the project and the nuances important to selecting the right, long-term vendor.
A high standard was set to ensure the best platform. However, there was a need for the business case to be solid and viable from an ROI perspective. This challenge included the ability to segregate traffic (penetration of services to all points within the mine including ramps and within pits), apply quality of service (QoS) to traffic, and full repeater site design including masts, power, housing and antenna placement.
