With its intelligent mine platform based on 5G network and UWB accurate positioning completed on September 12, Shangwan Coal Mine of Shendong Coal became the first mine in the industry to achieve the full coverage of 5G plus UWB signals.

The platform makes full use of the high reliability and wide bandwidth of data transmission of 5G network, as well as the advantages of UWB such as strong anti-interference, large system capacity and small transmission power, which has not only realized wireless, high-speed and low-delay data transmission, but also laid a solid foundation for intelligent applications including intelligent working face, unmanned driving underground, smart inspection by robots, multi-source positioning and high-definition video transmission.

Building an intelligent mine platform based on 5G network and UWB accrurate positioning is an important part of the “5G+ Intelligent Mine” project, one of the top ten key scientific and technological projects of China Energy launched in 2020. The core goal of the platform is to realize the mobile communication with wide-bandwidth and high-reliability and accurate position monitoring, thus providing a technical basis for other intelligent 5G-based applications underground. According to the project schedule, after full field investigation and scientific research argumentation, Shangwan Coal Mine and the Technology Research Institute under China Energy started in late August to install 5G communication base stations after obtaining the coal mine safety standard certificate, build the ground computer rooms, and incorporate applications into the network.

“Next, with the full coverage of 5G + UWB network, we will gradually realize all-round intelligent applications from coal mining, roadway development, electromechanical process, auxiliary transportation to coal preparation, and strive to make continuous breakthroughs in the development of a 5G+ intelligent mine and become an intelligent mining demonstration case in the industry,” said Party secretary and mine manager of Shangwan Coal Mine.
