The NetNodeIS, Intrinsically Safe, is the latest adaptation of Cobham’s world-leading COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) wireless communications product range. Developed specifically for deployment in underground coal mines, the system can remain active and uninterrupted even when an explosive atmosphere has been detected, leading to improved production efficiency and miner safety.
e2v has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Rio Tinto to develop large-scale ProWave™ microwave and radio frequency generators for use in mineral recovery.
