The external hookswich has no moving parts, further making the telephone ideal for use in mining environments where high levels of dust, water and grime are prevalent.

Robust VoIP telephone technology can help to improve communication and safety, as Helge Rognstad, Sales and Marketing Director with Norphonic explains: ”While mining today is substantially safer than it was in the previous decades, we still find that many mining companies are struggling with cumbersome and costly analogue telephone technology. Our presence at Mining World presents us with the opportunity to demonstrate how the latest cost effective SIP-based VoIP telephone technology can add significant value, both in terms of improved communications and safety.”
