Epiroc AB has acquired the remaining shares of Radlink, the Australia-based business that provides mines with wireless connectivity solutions. Epiroc acquired a majority shareholding of Radlink, 53%, in 2022, and now owns 100%.

Radlink, headquartered in Perth, Australia, designs, delivers, and integrates wireless data and voice communication networks and supporting infrastructure to surface and underground mines. Epiroc stated: “Robust wireless networks are vital to support mining automation, including enabling safe and driverless operations through autonomous and teleremote solutions, which in turn strengthen safety and productivity. Radlink’s solutions are also fundamental for the digital transformation of mining operations, where getting data to the right place at the right time is crucial for making data-driven decisions.”

Radlink has approximately 415 employees and had revenues in 2024 of about MSEK 1,330. “The innovative team at Radlink is already an integral part of Epiroc, and together we are bringing advanced connectivity solutions to mining customers,” says Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s President and CEO. “We look forward to continue providing mining companies with the right digital solutions to strengthen their operations.”

On January 16, 2025, Epiroc announced that two mining companies in Australia had ordered Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and digital connectivity solutions that include telecommunications towers, huts and power systems, at a value of more than MSEK 250. The Radlink-provided solutions Epiroc says will strengthen safety and productivity by providing the remotely located mines with reliable, secure and high-speed bandwidth to enable applications such as automation, fleet management, and real-time data.
