BCOM VoIP

In mining, fibre-optic networks are increasingly replacing the classic data transmission for control and logistics. The worldwide Ethernet standard is used. The new network technology has only been used for data transmission until now. The telephone and intercom network installed parallel must continue to be managed elaborately constructed with its own wiring.

For the first time, BCOM VoIP integrates data and voice transmission in a common network. The innovative voice communication system thus revolutionises voice communication in mining. The basis of the entire system is voice transmission via Voice over IP. Voice over IP (VoIP) is telephony via computer networks. In the process, the voices are digitised, broken down into small packets, transferred, and reassembled at the receiver. The result is a high voice quality without interference.

A further advantage of Voice over IP is the possibility to save in regard to expert personnel and thus costs, as well. The installation, documentation, and care of separate copper networks are no longer necessary with BCOM VoIP. The entire system can be configured and maintained aboveground.
