    • The deployment allows Newmont to operate multiple dozers remotely across a 2.5km area, overcoming previous Wi-Fi limitations.
    • This advancement enhances operational efficiency and worker safety in mining operations.​

    What happened: Newmont deploys world-first 5G teleremote dozer fleet with Ericsson Private 5G​

    Newmont has integrated Ericsson’s Private 5G solution at its Cadia gold-copper mine in Australia, facilitating the first use of private 5G technology for teleremote dozing in surface operations. The new network enables the connection of the entire dozer fleet across a 2.5km construction area, a significant improvement over the previous Wi-Fi setup, which was limited to two machines within 100 meters. The 5G network provides up to 175Mbps uplink throughput, sufficient for operating up to 12 dozers simultaneously without communication interruptions. ​
