 NeuraCOM
AI Based Leaky Cable and Fiber Hybrid Architecture

NeuraCom Headend Systems

AI BASED NETWORK
True AI based Self Organized
Network (SON) platform that is
designed for mining operations.
Through edge computing
capabilities and centralized
intelligence modules, the network
components have built-in
intelligence to continuously
discover, analyze and learn the
network surroundings and
conditions to self-configure itself
in a real time fashion.
DEEP LEARNING
The patented Neura-Deep-
Learning (NDL) module provides
a comprehensive deep learning
knowledge base to the networks
in the mines and tunnels.
NeuraCom features two types of communication Head-Ends, namely, the Neura Master
Headend Unit, N-MHU and Neura Master Optical Unit, N-OMU.
N-MHU - Neura Master Headend Unit
The N-MHU, is the NeuraCom master head-end
combiner unit with the standard unit supporting up
to 8 channels in the VHF band. This N-MHU unit
also interfaces the leaky cable system with the
NeuraView Diagnostics software. An expansion
unit is also available to allow system support for
an additional 8 channels.
N-OMU - Neura Optical Master Unit
The NeuraCom optical master unit (N-OMU) can
support up to 8 RFoF links to 8 remote NFA units, in
star topology deployment. Only one strand of fiber is
required to connect to each NFA, utilizing
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology
to save on fiber cable requirements. An expansion
unit is also available for 8 additional links.

Deep Learning Capabilities

The patented Neura-Deep-Learning (NDL) module provides comprehensive knowledge
base to the networks in the mines and tunnels. These networks have superior learning
capacity to discover and characterize their surroundings automatically. Based on this
knowledge, the networks’ components will react in an intelligent manner to obtain optimum
configurations, which can respond dynamically to the ever-changing network conditions and
environments.
The amplifiers and nodes in the network are always aware of all physical and logical
changes in the communication channels as well as in the layout in real time. Each network
segment (i.e., leaky cable segment and attached passive devices) can be fully characterized
for physical length, attenuation, and cable tilt parameters.

Field repair and troubleshooting are made easy with our NeuraTool that allows wireless
laptop connections to the amplifier in the field without opening the amplifier enclosures to
perform the test. Each amplifier comes with a built-in signal generator, and spectrum
analyzers that allow for remote troubleshooting and system analysis. Engineers and
technicians do not need to bring their test equipment to the mine; they can perform
comprehensive tests with their laptops wirelessly connected to the amplifiers.
System’s Passive Components
NeuraCom offers a wide range of passive
units to enable the construction of scalable
network architectures in mines and tunnels.
All passive components are built in
ruggedized IP 68 housings and designed to
provide higher standards of RF
performance. All units are designed to be
part of NeuraCom family and are compatible
with all the third-party system available on
the market. All passive units feature Fast-
