Resilient connectivity for remote operations

Photonix integrates long-haul backhaul and site connectivity for mines, processing plants and camps, engineered for heat, dust and distance. Our relationship with the resources sector began with telecommunications and now extends to control and power, through industrial networks, edge compute and off-grid systems.

CHALLENGES

The challenges shaping mining operations

  1. Operating far from the backbone.

    Production, safety systems and accommodation often depend on a single link spanning hundreds of kilometres.

  2. Performing in harsh conditions.

    Heat, dust and vibration shorten equipment life and expose any weakness in design.

  3. Adapting as the operation evolves.

    As pits advance and plants expand, the network must evolve with them without interrupting production.
