Epiroc has acquired the remaining shares of Radlink, the Australia-based business that provides mines with wireless connectivity solutions.
In 2022, Epiroc acquired a 53 per cent majority shareholding of Radlink, and now owns 100 per cent of the company.
“The innovative team at Radlink is already an integral part of Epiroc, and together we are bringing advanced connectivity solutions to mining customers,” said Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s President and CEO.
“We look forward to continue providing mining companies with the right digital solutions to strengthen their operations.”
Radlink, headquartered in Perth, Australia, designs, delivers and integrates wireless data and voice communication networks and supporting infrastructure to surface and underground mines.
Robust wireless networks are important to support mining automation, including enabling safe and driverless operations through autonomous and teleremote solutions, which in turn strengthen safety and productivity.
Radlink’s solutions are also fundamental for the digital transformation of mining operations, where getting data to the right place at the right time is crucial for making data-driven decisions.

The Radlink-provided solutions will strengthen safety and productivity by providing the remotely located mines with reliable, secure and high-speed bandwidth to enable applications such as automation, fleet management, and real-time data.
