Background
A remote industrial zone (mining + construction camp) faced:
- No fiber infrastructure
- Unreliable satellite links
- Safety communication challenges
- No IoT connectivity
- Harsh environmental conditions
Requirements:
- Rapid deployment
- Ruggedized hardware
- Low power consumption
- Local core for offline operation
Solution: CompactOne Integrated 5G System
CompactOne was deployed on-site with satellite backhaul.
Key capabilities:
- Integrated 5GC within base station
- IP67 rating
- -40°C to +55°C operation
- 230W power consumption
- Architecture
- One CompactOne for base camp
- Additional cascade units for site expansion
- Local 5G Gateway for:
- Autonomous operation
- HD cameras
- Worker safety wearables
- Satellite backhaul to 5G Controller in headquarters or in the cloud
Results
- Deployment in <1 day
Plug-and-play configuration
2. Mission-Critical Reliability
Low latency (20ms user plane)
3. Enhanced Safety
Real-time:
Vehicle tracking
Worker monitoring
Hazard alerts
4. Reduced OPEX
Lower maintenance vs microwave + Wi-Fi hybrid networks
