Remote Mining Internet Solutions
Remote Mining Internet Solutions
Connectivity designed for sites beyond fibre. We assess location, demand and risk, then combine satellite, cellular, fixed wireless and site-to-site links with firewalls, monitoring and automatic failover to deliver internet that keeps offices, camps and operations connected.
Reliable connectivity is central to modern mining operations, but remote geography creates challenges that conventional business internet services cannot always solve.
We assess, deploy and support suitable connectivity using satellite broadband, fixed wireless, cellular networks and site-to-site infrastructure — selected on location, suitability, commercial availability and your requirements.
Capacity planning
We estimate bandwidth demand from user numbers, video calls, cloud applications, CCTV, data transfers and camp entertainment, and plan capacity with headroom for growth. Latency-sensitive applications such as remote desktops and VoIP are considered separately from bulk transfers.
Resilience and monitoring
Combining different connection types — for example low Earth orbit satellite with 4G — protects against single points of failure. Links are monitored centrally and traffic is prioritised so critical systems keep working when capacity drops.
We do not promise particular speeds. Performance depends on location, provider, plan and conditions.

Delivery methodology
How we deliver
Assess
We review your sites, users, connectivity and risks, and confirm scope, access and induction requirements.
Design
We select standard, supportable technology and document the solution, costs and delivery plan.
Deploy
Equipment is prepared and tested before dispatch; remote and field engineers implement around your rosters.
Support
Everything is monitored and supported 24/7, with field services coordinated when physical work is needed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best internet option for a remote mine?
+
It depends on location, demand and resilience needs. Many sites combine low Earth orbit satellite with cellular or a second satellite service.
Can you guarantee speeds?
+
No. We design for appropriate capacity, but actual performance depends on providers and conditions.
Do you supply the internet service?
+
We help select and arrange services and supply and configure equipment, subject to provider availability.
Can you prioritise business traffic over camp traffic?
+
Yes, through segmentation and quality-of-service policies on the firewall.

Starlink & 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.

4G & 5G Failover
Cellular as primary or backup. We survey signal, evaluate carriers, install industrial routers with external antennas and configure single- or multi-carrier failover — monitored centrally so the switch-over happens automatically when the primary link drops.

Network Security & Firewalls
Secure, segmented networks for every site. We design and manage Fortinet and Cisco firewalls, separate corporate, camp, guest and supplier traffic, secure remote access and site-to-site connectivity, and keep rules, firmware and logs under control.
