ImPact Communication Appliance (ICA)

The ImPact technology suite is designed to lead mining communications and digital network infrastructure into the future. The ImPact Communications Appliance (ICA) supports a wide range of communication devices that have been specifically developed for the mining industry to operate within the harsh environments encountered in all types of mining, from underground to surface operations.

The ImPact Communication Appliance delivers an integrated presentation of mine activities by providing clear but detailed views of data sourced from tracking systems, voice communications systems, and vehicle data acquisition systems.  The ICA also manages many aspects of personnel and asset tracking operations:  Alarms, Reports, System Monitoring, System Backup & Archiving, and the configuration of a range of other ImPact System devices.

The product range, which comprises network hardware and application software, is driven by our deep understanding of the challenges faced by mining communications systems and an advanced engineering design incorporating the latest wireless (802.11) technology. The network system is the heart of a scalable, high-speed data and communications system. It efficiently manages time-sensitive, high-bandwidth applications, fully supporting Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications, personnel tracking, asset tracking, video streaming, remote PLC programming, mobile data acquisition, real-time vehicle diagnostics and proximity event reporting.

The ImPact system will embed a solid communications backbone into your mine based on open standards technologies. This highly reliable and high-bandwidth system provides a sound foundation for applications that demand high-volume data management and embedded system diagnostics. The Impact system provides a quantum leap forward from traditional technologies, delivering on capacity, flexibility and reliability.
