Venn Telecom and mining connectivity solutions
Huge capital investment. Locations without communications. Unstable regional politics. Extracting the resources the world needs is a risky business, whether you’re mining coal to be burnt or metal to be melted. Yet there’s an even bigger risk: not being connected to the data and applications that quantify and mitigate the problems of working in hard-to-reach areas. Here’s how Venn Telecom helps and delivers reliable industrial connectivity solutions for the mining sector.
Your market challenge: connectivity in remote mining sites
Whatever’s being mined, one factor defines it: the site will be in a remote area with little existing infrastructure. Simply because that’s where the richest lodes and the biggest opportunities are. Yet the need for connectivity is higher than ever.
Fortunately, today’s wireless technologies can deliver SD-WAN data services comparable to wired networks—without the need for new infrastructure. By bypassing the time, costs, and permits required for cable installation, satellite and cellular broadband provide secure, high-speed connectivity with no wires in sight.
The value we offer: seamless wireless connectivity for mining
Wireless has been connecting remote sites to each other for 15+ years – and the technology roadmap just keeps improving. Venn Telecom matches problem with solution, partnering with the most knowledgeable suppliers in the most modern technologies.
Three things matter to miners: consistent connectivity, bandwidth capacity, and diversity options for backup and failover. Wireless solutions can deliver all three – even in the same router if needed. A blend of antenna-boosted mobile (reaching out to distant cell towers to connect to mobile coverage), on-site WiFi for local connections to devices and workers, and LEO satellite constellations like Starlink for reliable backup gives you all the SLAs you need.
Combining cellular and satellite in different ways answers different use cases, from near-shore ocean bed surveying to high-altitude resource extraction in mountainous areas. And Venn Telecom can design your ideal solution.
An integrated solution
Seamless corporate SD-WAN
Mobile and satellite can connect local site offices with your corporate SD-WAN –seamlessly. Letting local teams work as part of your global enterprise.
