Real-Time, Mobile and Wireless Audio-Video Communication

Video conferencing is now widely used in the mining industry. Multinational companies use it to communicate with international branch offices, enabling them to work with their staff, clients, and suppliers in different countries, and to cut the hassles, risks, and costs of business travel. However, despite its benefits, video conferencing also presents many limitations for mining companies. The fix environment design philosophy does not fit well the needs of many departments who need a true “in-the field mobility,” such as exploration teams, geologists, project engineers, inspectors, mine managers, mechanics, etc. With Frontline Communicator, mobile team members can now have bi-directional communication with experts, managers, system engineers, or a group from a distance and transmit video/images—no matter their location or for how long. Frontline Communicator is a robust, hands-free, wireless, and lightweight bi-directional audio-video communication system. Connecting to almost all IP Broadband Networks, it offers reliable voice, data, video/images communications from virtually anywhere on the planet while providing maximum mobility to the team. www.audisoft.net
