HERE Technologies, a leading location data and technology platform, and Ericsson, one of the first and leading providers of 5G communication technology and services, have teamed up to provide the global mining industry with custom mapping capabilities. HERE is now a member of Ericsson’s industry 4.0 partner ecosystem.
The mining industry is in a rapid modernization phase, with smart mining operations projected to increase threefold until 2025. A key driver of this transformation is the access to private cellular networks, enabling safer, more productive, and more sustainable mining operations, through reliable and low latency connectivity.
