Case Study: Shanghai Electric achieves unified mine communications with Hytera DMR system

Shanghai Electric unifies Thar Coal Mine communications with Hytera across 9,000 sq km

Shanghai Electric, the main contractor for Pakistan's Thar Block 1 Integrated Coal Mine and Power Project, faced a severe communication challenge. Its various subcontractors used incompatible radio systems from different manufacturers, which hampered operational efficiency and coordination. To unify communications across the entire mining area, Shanghai Electric partnered with Hytera for a new professional communication solution.

Hytera implemented a comprehensive DMR system, including base stations, intrinsically safe portable radios, mobile radios, and a full dispatch and management suite. This solution provided seamless, wide-area coverage and unified all subcontractors onto a single, reliable network. The results for Shanghai Electric included greatly improved operational efficiency, boosted production, and more cost-effective communications with robust system reliability for the harsh mining environment.
