As part of a research project commissioned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, NTT docomo Business is launching a study and demonstration aimed at advancing remote operations using IOWN APN technology at a copper mine operated by CODELCO (Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile).
To address operational challenges faced by CODELCO, the project will connect the copper mine and a remote operations center—separated by approximately 1,500 kilometers—via APN. It will then verify the feasibility of a remote operation model by leveraging a high-capacity, low-latency communication environment to enable the remote control of heavy machinery and enhance monitoring capabilities through high-definition video.
