Efficient Intelligent Omni-Surfaces for Enhancing Mine Wireless Coverage. WiFi is the most commonly deployed wireless technology for underground mines. However, existing mines face significant limitations in wireless coverage due to the prohibitive costs associated with deploying numerous access points across vast and intricate tunnel networks. Our project aims to address this challenge by developing an innovative and cost-effective solution based on Intelligent Omni-Surfaces to seamlessly extend wireless coverage across vast underground mines. By significantly expanding wireless coverage, our project will revolutionise mine communications, paving the way for the digital transformation of mine operations. This advancement will enhance mining activities' productivity, efficiency, and operational safety.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 4006 - Communications Engineering. Lead: Prof Yonghui Li
