Maintaining reliable power and connectivity underground is essential for supporting the growing number of devices, communication systems and monitoring tools that modern mining operations rely on. Today’s operations demand rugged, scalable networking solutions that can be deployed quickly and perform reliably in tough conditions.
What is AXON Power?
AXON Power is a plug and play add-on module for the AXON Core that provides additional PoE+ ports and a separate dedicated DC output. With AXON Power you can enable more equipment such as cameras, communication devices, or sensors without needing separate power or data sources.
Designed for easy installation and built to handle tough mining environments, AXON Power helps expand your underground network.
Supporting smart mining devices
From environmental sensors and communication intercoms, to IP cameras and access control systems – modern mines rely on a growing number of connected devices. AXON Power’s Gigabit POE+ ports deliver both data and power to these devices via a single cable. Installing environmental sensors and monitors at new headings or stopes becomes a quick task – simply mount the AXON Power and it’s online.
Seamless expansion of underground networks
Underground environments require network expansion as operations progress. With AXON Power, teams can quickly scale their infrastructure by plugging the module into an existing AXON Core and connect to nearby devices. This minimises the need for complex rewiring or sourcing additional power.
As tunnelling advances, teams can install cameras, sensors and communication devices further down the line, all powered and connected through the AXON Power module.
Rugged, reliable operation that is fast to deploy
Mining is tough on equipment. AXON Power is built for this environment – rated IP65 it is resistant to dust, moisture, vibration and extreme temperatures. Once installed, it runs reliably without needing constant maintenance or oversight.
Whether it’s a mobile refuge chamber, a temporary loading bay, or a new development heading, AXON Power is ideal for extending AXON network setups. The plug-and-play design allows rapid setup and just as fast removal or relocation for temporary deployments.
AXON Power provides a practical, reliable and scalable solution for expanding underground digital networks. For mines looking to modernise their networks without overcomplicating the process, AXON Power is a smart investment – built underground tough. Contact our team to find out more.
