Mineral Exploration
IT and Connectivity for Mineral Exploration Programs
Exploration programs move fast and often start from nothing: a cleared pad, a few transportables and a team arriving next week.
We help explorers stand up connected, secure field offices quickly — and pack them up again when the program moves on.
Common operational challenges
- Short lead times for new camps
- Very remote locations with no terrestrial coverage
- Small teams without dedicated IT
- Valuable data captured on field laptops
Typical deployment
Example solution: greenfield exploration camp
- 1Office in a Pallet sized for 8 users
- 2Two satellite terminals with automatic failover
- 3Preconfigured field laptops with encryption
- 4Small NAS for core photos and logging data with nightly sync
- 5Remote helpdesk and smart hands for the program duration
Example Solution — an illustrative configuration, not a specific customer project.
Suitable service combinations
Office in a Pallet
Our signature service for new sites. Tell us the location and head-count and we deliver a consolidated, preconfigured kit — laptops, firewall, switches, WiFi, satellite internet, backup 4G/5G, phones, printer and UPS — tested, documented and ready to plug in on arrival.
Learn moreStarlink & Satellite Connectivity
Low Earth orbit satellite done properly. We assess coverage and plan options, mount and position terminals, integrate power and networking, connect through managed firewalls, monitor performance and pair Starlink with backup links so a single terminal is not a single point of failure.
Learn more24/7 Remote IT Helpdesk
A round-the-clock remote helpdesk for rostered and FIFO workforces. Our engineers resolve account, device, Microsoft 365, remote-access and connectivity issues for staff at head office, on site and in camp, and coordinate local hands when a physical fix is required.
Learn moreNAS & Mining Data Storage
Fast local storage for large mining datasets. Site NAS keeps geological data, survey outputs, drawings, drone imagery and video close to the people who use them, with resilient drives, permissions, snapshots, backups and scheduled replication back to head office.
Learn moreHardware Procurement & Lifecycle
Standardised hardware delivered ready to use. We source laptops, servers, switches, firewalls, access points, printers and UPS units, then tag, enrol, image and test them before shipping to site — and manage warranty, repairs, replacement and disposal through the asset's life.
Learn moreRemote Hands & Smart Hands
Local hands with central expertise. When a remote site needs a firewall replaced, a port patched or a server reseated, we coordinate available local engineers or authorised contractors while our senior engineers direct the work remotely and verify the result.

It depends on equipment availability and logistics; tell us your target date and we will confirm a realistic schedule.
Can equipment move with us to the next program?
+
Yes, kits are designed to be demobilised and redeployed.
