Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of private networks, which are not related to the profile wireless enterprises, but using the infrastructure of operators or telecommunication service providers. The issues of adaptation and automation of the use of private telecommunication networks with consideration of the specifics of the mining industry are considered. A comparative analysis of LTE and Wi-Fi networks carried out. A comparative analysis of networks based on LTE and Wi-Fi is carried out. The following are used as indicators of network efficiency: the frequency spectrum in Ukraine, the ability of the network to provide the necessary service to the specified traffic, coverage, radiation power, power consumption, linearity and productivity, penetration resistance and noise immunity, network security, mobility. Scenarios for the use of private LTE networks in the mining industry are generated. The list of necessary industrial network services is formulated. The regulatory and technical features of the use of private networks based on LTE are considered. It is proposed to use LTE-based radio access technology as a technology platform for providing communications at mining industry enterprises with the aim of providing new services with guaranteed access security, the necessary requirements for speed, scalability and network availability for the end user.

Keywords: radio access technologies, LTE-based private network, WiFi technology, network subscribers, mining industry, industrial network services.
