Russian steel maker NLMK Group has begun implementing its own wireless mobile network at the site of the Novolipetsk Iron and Steel Works and the Stoilensky Mining and Processing Plant. The project involves the deployment of more than 90 base stations to maintain a stable signal. About 50 towers will be installed at NLMK and 40 at SGOK. Deployment of the network infrastructure will improve the manageability of processes and increase information security. Due to full coverage and seamless data transmission, communication will work in hard-to-reach and remote areas and will allow uninterrupted use of data received from technological equipment where it was previously inaccessible online. For example, it will be possible to include remote monitoring of moving objects in a single digital circuit.In future, the Private LTE/5G network will be deployed at all Russian production sites of the Group and will provide secure, stable and high data transfer rates. The transition to the next-generation 5G network standard will accelerate data exchange for the implementation of video analytics, unmanned transport control, the development of the industrial Internet of things and predictive analytics.The introduction of the Private LTE network is part of a large-scale infrastructure project aimed at developing existing areas of production digitalization: dispatching, environmental control, and labor protection systems.
