Kathy Gibson reports – Improvements in safety was the main driver for implementing 5G communications in the Phalanndwa Colliery – but this is just the first step in the mine’s digitalisation journey.
Wanda Matandela, chief commercial officer of MTN, points out that the 5G deployment at Phalanndwa is the first of its kind in Africa. “As we move from being a telco into a techco, we realise the power of partnering, and the importance of finding partners that share the same vision of servicing our customers,” he says.
“Today, the need for digitalisation in mining is more compelling than ever as they are under pressure to improve efficiency, productivity and safety,” he says.
