“…The cable installation of the cable monitoring system must be expanded as the operating area of the underground coal mine expands, which leads to new installation and maintenance costs. In the event of an accident, especially in the case of a dust or gas explosion, the cables can be damaged, making them unable to transmit the information necessary for rescue operations [31]. As a result, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have recently been crucial in resolving issues faced by the cable monitoring system.…”

Underground coal mining is a challenging and hazardous occupation that requires constant monitoring of environmental parameters to ensure the safety of miners. A handful of research has been carried out in developing wireless monitoring devices to monitor underground mine workings using Wi-Fi and ZigBee, which has limitations such as limited range, interference, reliability, power consumption, and security. The main objective of this study is to develop an Underground Gas Monitoring Device using LoRa communication for the effective transmission of monitored data. The testing was carried out in an underground mine model to measure the propagation of the LoRa signal with a line of sight and non-line of sight. It was observed that the system performs fairly well in both situations. During testing, it was observed that there was a drop in RSSI at 14 m for non-line of sight, and beyond 17 m no signal was received. Hence, for every 15 m, a booster is required to be placed to maintain efficient and reliable propagation of signals. In the event of an increase in gas level beyond the threshold limit in the underground mine, the developed system actuates the siren in the underground, boosters, and on the surface.

E-health is being adapted in modern hospitals as a significant addition to the existing healthcare services. To this end, modern hospitals urgently require a mobile, high-capacity, secure, and cost-effective communication infrastructure. In this paper, we explore potential applications of a hybrid broadband power line communication (PLC) and Wi-Fi in an indoor hospital scenario. It utilizes the existing power line cables and Wi-Fi plug-and-play devices for indoor broadband communication. Broadband power line (BPL) adaptors with Wi-Fi outputs are used to build an access network in hospitals, particularly in areas where the wireless router signal is poor. The Tenda PH10 AV1,000 AC Wi-Fi power line adapter is a set of BPL adapters that offer operational bandwidth of up to 1,000 Mbps. These adapters are based on the HomePlug AV2 protocol and can provide a data rate up to 200 Mbps on the physical layer. An experiment using the PLC Wi-Fi kit is carried out to show that a Wi-Fi and PLC hybrid network is the best candidate to provide wide range of practical applications in a hospital including, but not limited to, telemedicine, electronic medical records, early-stage disease diagnosis, health management, real-time monitoring, and remote surgeries.
