APPLICATION OF 5G+EDGE COMPUTING IN REAL-TIME DATA TRANSMISSION FOR SMART MINES

Smart mining represents the core direction of the intelligent transformation in the coal and mining industry, and real-time data transmission is the vital lifeline for the efficient operation and safety management of smart mines. Traditional mine data transmission modes suffer from pain points such as insufficient bandwidth, high latency, poor anti-interference performance and limited access for massive terminals, making it difficult to adapt to the complex underground operating environment and intelligent operation requirements. 5G technology, with its core advantages of high bandwidth, low latency, massive connectivity and high reliability, provides communication support for the high-speed transmission of massive mine data. Edge computing sinks computing power to network edge nodes, enabling local data processing and rapid instruction delivery, which further reduces transmission latency, alleviates cloud computing pressure and ensures the stability of data transmission. Focusing on the integrated 5G+edge computing technology, this paper analyzes the core requirements for real-time data transmission in smart mines, expounds the technical characteristics and integration logic of 5G and edge computing, explores in depth the practical applications of this technology in scenarios such as environmental monitoring, remote equipment control, unmanned mining and emergency rescue, and analyzes the current technical challenges and optimization paths in its application. It aims to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for the upgrading of the data transmission system in smart mines and the high-quality development of mining intelligence.
