PROJECT SCOPE:

Network Operation Center (NOC) - For the project NIVEL-5 at the "El Teniente" mine in Santiago, Chile

The new stage of the "El Teniente" mine, called LEVEL-5, focuses on identifying new mineral reserves for the productive sectors. The Network Operation Center's main function is to generate a new telecommunications infrastructure vision for personnel access and mineral exploration complete management, extraction, and supply channel.

Pre-connected and multi-point MPO NEXCONEC fiber optic solutions implementation sets the stage for future connection to the Deep Level, located 400 meters below, improving the potential for increasing the Colón concentrator plant capacity.
