Mine sites are often located in the most remote locations. These outlying locations make communication difficult when attempting to successfully connect people, equipment, and the enterprise system via cellular or radio. However - going without crucial communications is not an option - visibility is essential for critical decision making. Satellite messaging terminal provide a fiscally responsible way to automate machine-to machine communications for tracking, monitoring, and messaging. For many monitoring and control applications, the ability to send regularly scheduled messages and one-off transmissions is all that is required. The technology meets the increasing demand for richer information in mobile and fixed remote monitoring applications and allow mining companies to share data across diverse operations without added cost associated with continuous connectivity. Tracking Trucks and Heavy Equipment Many mining companies are turning to satellite communication to tra...

From east to west and north to south, High Throughput Satellite (HTS) communications are being delivered today to millions of users at subscription rates that transform the broadband value proposition, as well as the business plan. On planes, trains, ships, and in cities, villages, the full spectrum of enterprises - and now consumers - are taking advantage of 30-100 Gbps connectivity and applications that require new definitions of "access". Reaching the Unreachable HTS opens up a wealth of opportunity for a wide range of applications, often in locations which were previously unreachable. Indeed, for the consumer market, it provides cost-effective broadband access where there is not any, as well as being a competitive alternative to existing broadband services. Crucially, HTS means that people who previously could not afford access to broadband satellite can now. For the enterprise market, HTS provides a new type of offering, with higher throughput and cost-ef...
