SIAMnet is a technology aimed at providing a safe and efficient mining environment. It does this by combining conventional two-way radio technology with high speed data transmission. This underground communications system provides full diagnostics and monitoring for the entire mine. Remote calibration and support is also available through SIAMnet. The CANopen Remote Control for mines attempts to address the new generation of mining vehicles by simplifying the installation of a remote control of and CAN-based vehicle.
