Redline's LTE IoT solution offers maximum coverage and superior scalability with the benefit of being a standards-based technology offering mobility and high-performance communications. Built on a foundation of high-security and reliability, Redline's easy to deploy products are compact, boast low-power consumption and are designed for harsh environments, making them a perfect fit for customers across industries wishing to deploy private LTE networks.
"Redline was selected for this mining project because of our ability to help convert the customer's forward thinking IoT strategy into reality. Our simple to deploy LTE solution will enhance the productivity and safety of their operations," said Redline CEO, Robert Williams. "Last year we initiated a program of field trials of our LTE offering to demonstrate its effectiveness in meeting the demands of robust LTE solutions in a variety of different applications. These trials are proving successful and we are seeing increasing interest from new customers."
