Dependable Connectivity Wherever You Dig

In the hunt for profitable deposits, mining explorations are moving into more remote locations. Dependable connectivity is a must – to keep crews safe & morale up, manage multiple assets, reduce equipment downtime & make production deadlines. Network Innovations supplies global connectivity solutions to keep your teams connected, wherever they are in the world. We scope your requirements to deliver connectivity links, bandwidth, coverage, terminals, service, management tools, installation & ongoing support.

Camp & Crew Connectivity

Wherever your exploration or production teams venture, Network Innovations supplies reliable, secure connectivity solutions to help you optimize your camps operations. Mitigate risks, respond quickly to emergencies, & expedite decision-making with always available day-to-day connectivity regardless of how remote or isolated your site. Integrating satellite, radio, cellular & hybrid systems, we help your camp & crew stay connected.

  • Quick to deploy VSAT systems, portable BGAN terminals & satellite phones connect remote workers & camps to internet & voice communications where terrestrial networks are non-existent
  • Expedite data transfers from exploration sites like core samples & mineral results back to base for quick analysis & minimize unnecessary deployment of resources
  • Temporary & fully scalable communications for exploration camps or early stages of site construction through to full production & decommissioning of site
  • Link remote operations to the cloud and front offices through customized hybrid (satellite, fibre, microwave, LTE) network solutions

Workforce Safety & Welfare

Keeping your workers safe underground, in vehicles on-the-move, or spread across vast distances, is always the top priority. To do so, reliable communications & connectivity are a must, especially where terrestrial networks are unavailable. Network Innovations designs, delivers & deploys, devices, systems, applications, accessories & services that work together to unify your teams’ communications.

  • Improve safety & emergency response with tracking devices for lone workers, mobile teams, & truck drivers on the move
  • Communicate one-to-one or one-to-many in noisy environments with ruggedized PTT solutions
  • In the event of an emergency, critical voice & data communications can be prioritized over routine conversations
  • Provide communications & recreational services to workforce to attract & retain quality personnel
  • Rapidly respond to situations with location-based services, safety alerts, man down systems & low latency two-way communications
