The onboard computer for extreme environments
Make your machines smart by enabling wireless communications and connecting machines among each other (M2M). Or use the device as a very rugged Accesspoint / Router in your infrastructure!
The MMG acts as a gateway to enable wireless communication for various mining machines. It improves their efficiency and is a precondition for “Smart Machine” functionality as well as for machine-to-machine communication. Using the MMG, the on board machine network can be fully separated from the general site network. Additional firewall and enhanced network security functions according to recent best practice are available. The MMG can be used in installations with wireless hot spot coverage as well as in environments with permanent WiFi coverage.
Also the MMG is ideal for use as infrastructure device – like as an access point in very harsh environments like in underground mines, in tunnels or harsh outdoor environments.
