The Industry’s First WiFi6 Triple-Band Frequency-Hopping Mesh Base Station – A Breakthrough for Mining Communications

Why Industrial WiFi6 is Essential for Modern Mining

Compared to WiFi5, which easily meets intrinsic safety (IS) requirements with a 12V 1A power supply, WiFi6 poses greater challenges due to its higher power consumption (up to 12V 1.6A). Many manufacturers struggle to meet explosion-proof (Ex) and single-power supply standards, often downgrading performance or using consumer-grade WiFi5 in industrial settings—compromising safety and reliability.

With increasing demands for smart mining, WiFi6 + 5G has become the standard. While 5G can be explosion-proof, applying the same approach to WiFi6 would reduce efficiency and limit deployment flexibility. Thus, developing a true industrial-grade WiFi6 solution is critical.

Introducing the Sailsky First Industrial WiFi6 Triple-Band Mesh Base Station

Powered by Qualcomm’s industrial-grade IPQ4029 chip, this breakthrough solution supports 5G1/5G2/2.4G tri-band operation, delivering 2200Mbps combined speeds, wireless self-backhaul (1-5km range), and zero-cable deployment—perfect for harsh mining environments.

Key Features & Benefits
