Epiroc has completed the acquisition of a majority stake (53 per cent) of Radlink, an Australian company that provides mines with wireless connectivity solutions.
Radlink, headquartered in Perth, Australia, designs, delivers, and integrates wireless data and voice communication networks and supporting infrastructure to surface and underground mines throughout Australia.
Robust wireless networks are vital to support mining automation, including autonomous and teleremote solutions, which in turn strengthen safety and productivity.
The company has approximately 330 employees and had revenues in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, of about $145 million.
The move follows Epiroc’s recent acquisition of another Perth-based company, mining automation specialist Remote Control Technologies.
Radlink becomes part of Epiroc’s Parts and Services division.
