Large-scale construction and engineering projects, such as building railways, highway projects and mining, are characterized by a mobile workforce that often operate in extreme physical conditions. Whether in an underground mine shaft, a remote mountain pass, or a large downtown construction site, mobile voice and data communications among the team, as well as externally with headquarters, is essential. The ability to quickly set up a reliable communications network, without exorbitant infrastructure costs, is a critical business requirement. Safety is also an important factor, particularly in areas where explosives are used.
Savion meets the stringent requirements of large-scale construction and engineering projects for cost-effective, reliable and safe mobile communications. By creating a self-configuring, self-managing, multi-hop network, Savion provides full coverage even in the most challenging communication environments. Unlike other communications methods, Savion uses low power transmission in compliance with safety requirements. Since it does not require a fixed infrastructure or WiFi hotspots, it can be up and running instantly with minimum cost. Savion provides workers at remote work sites with the same level of reliable voice and data communications that they have at the corporate office, as well as access to the satellite link for communications with headquarters or emergency responders.
