Successful Norphonic Launch at Electra Mining

Mining Telephone - Mine Phone - Tunnel Telephone - VoIPNorphonic enjoyed a highly successful product launch at the recent Electra Mining Exhibition in Johannesburg, South Africa with the display of the latest rugged IP mining telephones.

”Norphonic’s VoIP Mining Telephones proved to be immensely popular at our stand this year, demonstrating that the mining industry is serious about its role in improving communications and safety for exposed mining workers underground” says Albert Bower, Managing Director at Becker Electronics, Norphonic’s partner in South Africa.

”The Norphonic IP based telephone is ideally suited for underground mining areas and comes with innovative technology features such as automatic fault check and remote management and control functions. Despite the economic downturn, we see that the leading mining companies are starting to realise the benefits with deploying these robust VoIP telephones”.

Health and Safety for underground miners was a buzz-word at the Electra Mining event this year, with many eyes following the rescue of the 33 miners in Chile that was trapped underground following the Copiapó copper mine accident. The accident shed light on safety conditions at many mines across the world, and many global mining companies attended the Electra Mining to find how to improve safety underground, using the latest VoIP communications technology.

Helge Rognstad, Sales and Marketing Director with Norphonic comments ”We are delighted with the high level of interest in our heavy duty mining telephones at Electra Mining."

"We are also very excited about the way we have worked with our partner, Becker Electronics, to truly integrate this solution with complimentary wireless and leaky feeder systems. Together, we have created a future-proof and scalable solution that has the potential to emerge a clear market winner in South Africa.”
