June 24–26, 2025. Stand N17. Karaganda, Kazakhstan. This exhibition serves as a pivotal meeting point for specialists across the global mining and metallurgical industries to exchange insights, innovate with new technologies, and forge joint business ventures. Fiberroad will present its latest Intrinsic Safety Industrial Ethernet Switch, inviting visitors to discover how our industrial switches power the synchronization of mine digitalization. Join us at Stand N17 to explore how Fiberroad’s solutions are shaping the future of smart mining through reliable, safe, and high-performance connectivity.
The mining sector is the backbone of Kazakhstan’s economy
Kazakhstan’s mining sector is characterized by vast and diverse mineral resources and a significant contribution to the nation’s GDP and exports. The country boasts some of the world’s largest reserves of uranium, chromite, manganese, lead, zinc, and copper, alongside substantial deposits of gold, iron ore, and bauxite. This rich endowment has positioned Kazakhstan as a globally important producer, particularly in uranium where it holds the top spot. Major domestic and international companies like Kazatomprom, Eurasian Resources Group (ERG), Kazakhmys, and KAZ Minerals drive the sector, utilizing advanced technologies to explore and extract these valuable resources. Recognizing the importance of attracting further investment and ensuring sustainable development, Kazakhstan has implemented significant reforms. The sector is embracing digitalization and green technologies, with government initiatives promoting smart mines, automated equipment, and renewable energy integration. For now, Kazakhstan’s mining sector remains strategically positioned, leveraging its vast mineral reserves (36 million tons of copper, 2,500 tons of gold) and geopolitical location to sustain its role as a key player in global supply chains. The industry’s evolution toward sustainability and innovation underscores its resilience and long-term growth potential.
What Sets Fiberroad Intrinsically Safe Ethernet Switches Apart?
Fiberroad’s Intrinsically Safe Industrial Ethernet Switches excel in hazardous environments, combining rigorous certification, rugged durability, and advanced networking to drive digitalization in mining and industrial sectors. Engineered for Zone 1/Division 1 areas, these switches meet the strictest explosion-proof standards, with intrinsic safety certification that eliminates electrical sparks and thermal risks—critical for operations involving flammable gases or dust.
Intrinsically safe Design
Our switches are engineered with a suite of features to prevent ignition in hazardous environments for controlling electrical energy. They prioritize low-power design, utilizing efficient chips and optimized software to minimize overall consumption, such as Fiberroad’s FISE505G with its mere 3.5W total power consumption. Furthermore, a front-end power circuit protection system, employing resistors and small-capacitance power supply chips.
Advanced Networking Resilience
Supporting Layer 2+ features like STP/RSTP/MSTP/ERPSv2, these switches enable redundant network configurations, ensuring seamless data flow during equipment failures. Features like IPv4/IPv6 management, static routing, and ACL/QoS optimize traffic in complex mining networks.
Future-Ready Connectivity
Fiberroad switches withstand extreme temperatures (-40°C to 75°C), vibrations, and EMI—common in mining sites. Compatibility with protocols like Modbus TCP and Ethernet/IP integrates seamlessly with smart mining ecosystems, enabling real-time monitoring of automated equipment and IoT sensors. This aligns with Kazakhstan’s digitalization push for autonomous machinery and predictive maintenance.
