Telecommunications and electronics consulting · Peru

Specialist advisory on the networks that sustain industrial operations.

LabX86 is a telecommunications and electronic engineering consultancy. We assess, design and optimise the communications infrastructure of mine sites, agricultural estates, distribution centres and oil and gas facilities. We do not supply equipment: our contribution is engineering judgement.

Practice

Areas of practice

Each engagement addresses a different requirement. These are the most frequent.

Network audit

Assessment of existing infrastructure

We measure the actual condition of the network: effective coverage, latency, saturation, interference and single points of failure. The outcome is a documented diagnosis and a prioritised schedule of interventions.

Design and engineering

Expansion projects and new installations

Site survey, link budgets, topology definition, equipment specification and budget estimate. The deliverable is suitable for tender with any supplier.

Proposal review

Independent assessment prior to award

We examine third-party proposals before award: sizing, technical omissions, degree of dependence on a single manufacturer and total cost of ownership over a five-year horizon.

Retained advisory

Continuous support to the operation

We assume the network engineering function: change review, integrator oversight, availability reporting and an infrastructure roadmap.

Sectors

Environments where the network is critical infrastructure

We operate in contexts where a network outage halts haulage, irrigation, dispatch or pumping. Dust, distance, vibration, temperature and available power entirely determine which solution is appropriate. That is the difference between designing for an office and designing for a site.

  • Mining

    Open pit, underground and plant

  • Agriculture

    Large estates and precision irrigation

  • Logistics

    Distribution centres and fleet management

  • Oil and gas

    Pipelines, plants and classified areas

Methodology

Methodology

The service is structured in four stages and may be engaged in full or stage by stage.

  1. I

    Survey

    Site visit, field measurements and interviews with operations personnel. Without this stage, any subsequent recommendation is conjecture.

  2. II

    Diagnosis

    A report of findings, associated risks and operational impact, written in terms accessible to management and not solely to the systems function.

  3. III

    Proposal

    Alternatives compared on cost, schedule and technical trade-offs. One is recommended and the choice is substantiated.

  4. IV

    Delivery

    Oversight of the appointed integrator, validation against specification and documentation of the final installed condition.

Independence

Technical independence

We represent no brands and receive no manufacturer commission. We work with Cisco, Mikrotik, Ubiquiti, Cambium, Aruba and any other appropriate equipment; the choice follows the case, not the margin. Where the sound recommendation is to make no change, the report states so.

In parallel we develop our own Linux-based hardware for industrial scenarios the commercial catalogue does not serve adequately. It is proposed only where the case warrants it.
