Val-d’Or, February 26th 2024 – Network Innovation in Mining: Meglab and Bell partner to deliver private mobile networks to mines across Canada.
Meglab will integrate cutting-edge Private LTE/5G network solutions into the Canadian mining sector in partnership with Bell, setting a new standard for operational efficiency and technological advancement.
The offer for private mobile networks for the mining sector allows the secure transfer of large quantities of data at very high speeds. With these capabilities, mining companies can use artificial intelligence in their daily operations to automate and evaluate decision-making processes to maximize productivity. They are also able to perform preventative maintenance and create a more secure working environment for their employees.
Meglab’s extensive experience in the mining sector is complemented by its specialized workforce, not only capable of operating in remote locations, but also skilled in the deployment of advanced telecommunications technologies in underground mines. Combined with Bell’s private mobile network expertise, Meglab is set to power mines with connected equipment, people, and processes that will advance mining operations in Canada.
“We are so proud of this partnership,” said Kim Valade, General Manager of Meglab. “This unique collaboration will enable us to offer the very best in private mobile networks for the mining industry.”
The partnership not only enables the use of industrial IoT and artificial intelligence, it also actively supports the automation of mining vehicles, a crucial step towards modernizing mining operations. This integration ensures a seamless flow of data, videos, images, and voice communications. The robust Private LTE/5G networks are specifically designed to handle the heavy data demands and exacting operational reliability of the mining sector, thus ensuring security and speed in data transfer, and facilitating the sophisticated processes of automated mining.
“Bell is proud to partner with Meglab to help bring together the diverse ecosystem of mining partners together with our private mobile network to support the digital transformation of the Canadian mining industry.”

Meglab and Bell will host a booth at the PDAC (Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada) convention taking place in Toronto from March 3 to 6. Organizations can learn more about this exciting partnership, and how Meglab and Bell’s combined technology services can help them.
Always looking for new ways to contribute to the sustainable development of the mining industry, we are launching a web platform to give a second life to the equipment we have in inventory.
All's well that ends well for the 2 mining workers trapped underground in the Dominican Republic thanks to the sending of specialized equipment from two companies in the region.
