Expansion of Chile’s largest private digital radio system will
improve security, safety, operational efficiency and environmental
impact of Forestal Mininco
Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) today announced the expansion of
its managed services agreement supporting Forestal Mininco’s
mission-critical communications system. The system improves
employee safety and security, operational efficiency and Forestal
Mininco’s impact on the environment.
The system supports a number of Motorola Solutions’ high-tech
innovations, such as the TETRA messaging application, which enables
lighthouse keepers to deliver weather data, such as air humidity,
wind and rainfall, from radios in the forest to the dispatch
center. The data is then analyzed to generate forecasts and
statistics, predict the behavior of fires and used to develop
action plans.
“As the operations of Forestal Mininco are very diverse and
carried out in a rugged landscape, they need to be coordinated. We
had to keep improving the technology deployed some years ago. In
order to extend coverage, we were looking to seamlessly cover the
area between Regions 7 – 9. In addition, thanks to Motorola
Solutions technology, we have been improving our communications,
which will enable us to enhance operational efficiency and safety,”
said Luis Rodriguez, administration manager at Forestal
Mininco.
Through the fleet management application, radios in the field
can be tracked, improving security in the forest while saving time
and fuel, reducing the environmental impact of Forestal Mininco’s
operations.
New electronic dispatch guides are bringing another innovation
to the forestry industry in Chile. The cranes located in the forest
generate the guides, enabling workers to conduct online tracking of
materials, from the harvesting of the raw material to the end of
the process.
“The managed communication system provided by Motorola Solutions
helps our customers reduce their initial capital expenses and avoid
errors as it operates with different technology options,” explained
Mitchel Zúñiga, services manager at Motorola Solutions for Forestal
Mininco Operation. “In cases like Forestal Mininco, we can
manage the entire system from initial deployment, and develop it
based on their business needs.”
“One of the keys to our success with Mininco has been the
investment we’ve made in learning more about forestry industry
operations,” Zúñiga added. “During the course of years of
collaboration, we gained extended experience in the industry,
allowing us to develop innovative solutions that anticipate
business needs and make operations both safer and more
efficient.”
The Terrestrial Trunked radio (TETRA) system will include 10 new
radio frequency sites, new applications and portable devices to
increase coverage due to the rugged geography, spanning over 49,000
square kilometers in the areas of Maule, Biobío and La Araucanía.
The new solutions include two sites connected to the system via
satellite links. These links provide communications in
difficult-to-access places and enable mobile coverage, a feature
specifically designed to support harvesting tasks in the large
areas of the forest.
These enhancements will provide considerable increase in signal
coverage and service quality. The renewal of the agreement entered
into Motorola Solutions and Forestal Mininco in 2010 includes the
extension of coverage with new sites and 2,350 new terminals.
