When the mine facilities have no free line of sight to the IBIS-ArcSAR or
when their distance is more than 2 km (
), a Repeater is needed.
Fig. 38 – Wi-Fi Link with repeater
The Repeater is composed of an additional couple of radios and it has a
specific power supply with solar panels and batteries. The two Repeater
Wi-Fi Radios are connected together with an Ethernet cable.
The Repeater is supplied with 2 back up batteries giving an autonomy of
about 5 days. The Repeater power supply can be supplied by a couple of
photovoltaic panels or by the Mains Supply. An alternative option is to
detach the batteries and charge them using the battery charger (e.g. if not
enough solar power is provided for several days).
Together with the IBIS-ArcSAR Wi-Fi, two Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) cables
are provided:
a 24 Vdc PoE cable to supply IBIS Wi-Fi (
a 48 Vdc PoE cable (
right – red plug) to different supply needs;
