INNOVATIONS IN MOBILE CONNECTIVITY FOR SURFACE MINING OPERATIONS

The mining industry is becoming smarter by the day, relying more heavily on digital and connected solutions to optimize operations, explore new sites, and achieve sustainability targets. The emergence of remote-controlled and autonomous equipment is helping to improve safety and increase productivity. These trends will only accelerate and intensify as future mining operations become more connected and automated.

However, mining sites are often located in remote places around the world, creating unique challenges for connectivity. These sites often lack access to traditional terrestrial connectivity. Even when cellular is available, its reach and quality are often compromised. Finding reliable connectivity is a crucial necessity.

High throughput satellite network solutions (HTS), like Intelsat FlexMove, effectively fill the communications gaps and deliver the connectivity modern and digitized mining companies need to power complex and integrated applications for today’s connected mining operations.
