The need to improve safety and worker wellbeing, enhance productivity, and meet environmental, social, and governance (ESG) guidelines is helping to drive more connected things and the rapid adoption of technology. As a result, the IT landscape for the resources sector has become increasingly complex, deepening the need for secure, adaptive, and resilient solutions accessible in some of the most remote locations.
The resources industry continues to invest in IT solutions to support digitisation. Companies cannot afford to have their investment in technology fail. Workers and equipment rely on tracking, access to cloud-based applications, data flow, and communication, all of which need secure and scalable solutions powered by a resilient network backbone.
We have long-standing experience in the resources sector and work with our customers to drive change for a safer, more sustainable future.
Ensuring safe and resilient operations has become critical for mining organisations which need to meet strict compliance requirements and maintain their social license to operate. Vocus Satellite – Starlink helps bring mining organisations into the future—providing robust connectivity and services to facilitate crucial innovation, drive efficiency and support enhanced decision-making.
