Government & Security

AST is an expert in providing remote communication solutions to enable the efficient running of mining sites from initial exploration, construction to production and ongoing maintenance of all communications solutions.  

Mining Solutions

Reliable connectivity is also vital for asset management and monitoring the safety of remote workers and is an important factor to their wellbeing.

Exploration

The AST Group provide a wide range of global satellite communications solutions for both the mining and resource sectors ranging from simple handheld satellite phones and radios to complex corporate internet communication solutions for mining or exploration camps.

If you’re moving about during the exploration phases, [BGAN terminals](https://theastgroup.com/case-studies/connecting-remote-mining-sites) are an excellent choice as they are light, portable, easy to use and provide high transfer rates, as well as voice service and SMS text messaging.

Robust and reliable communications

During the construction phase, communications will be at their highest with voice and data being used at an extreme rate. During this phase a [fixed VSAT system](/solutions/land-connectivity) is most often recommended, allowing for high [bandwidth usage and full network management via INTEGRA](/solutions/comms-and-bandwidth-management) from AST. 
 
AST can remove the need for a costly and unreliable terrestrial network during the construction phase, instead, connecting monitoring devices, automated machinery and personnel on-line through a satellite network.

Construction

Our combined satcoms solutions also supports [remote worker welfare](/solutions/remote-and-lone-workers). From satellite comms that provides connectivity to home and recreational services through to handling medical emergencies.

Our software tracking solutions can also play a vital role in either accident prevention or providing alerts in case of a medical emergency.  

Remote worker welfare

M2M and IOT solutions such as remote monitoring of site security, access control, [asset tracking and management](/solutions/land-io-t-and-asset-management) become of critical importance.



Production

AST can lower operational costs by monitoring site security and surveillance in real-time. Whilst our IRIS terminal management and remote monitoring and control solution can; 

- Save time when safety is critical 
- Reduce cost of managing devices and need for site visits 
- Streamline processes 
- Improve decision making 

IRIS is versatile and customisable and is suitable for a wide range of uses from, pressure and sensor monitoring to personnel tracking. 

IRIS terminal management

Ranging from simple handheld satellite handsets and radios to complete [VSAT systems](/solutions/land-connectivity) and complex corporate internet communication solutions for mining or exploration camps. 

[AST’s M2M and IoT satellite solutions](/solutions/land-io-t-and-asset-management)  provide remote monitoring and surveillance options that enable lower operational costs and provide real-time data transfer and sharing, facilitating immediate decision making.   

We offer satellite communications systems and equipment which increase lone-worker safety and allow operations to comply with environmental and regulatory standards.

Sat comms can play a vital role in responding to environmental and humanitarian crises as well as their monitoring and prevention.  

NGO's & Environmental Solutions

[Response to disasters to provide humanitarian aid ](/insights/news/ast-distribution-asia-pte-ltd-ast-hdl-solutions-sdn-bhd-hdls-secure-flood-monitoring-deal-malaysian-government) requires a rapid response to arrange the many support services required such as co-ordinating personnel, building an infrastructure, arranging medical services, shelters and provisions.  

With infrastructure potentially damaged or unusable, AST’s satellite comms solutions can help you coordinate an effective emergency response and keep your teams safe and connected. 

NGO's & Humanitarian

Co-ordinating operational activities and ensuring information is shared with other agencies is essential.  

 For example, solutions such as the Iridium Extreme PPT deliver secure communications at the push of a button. It has been ruggedly engineered to support high intensity users in some of the harshest conditions in the world. Its ability to instantly communicate at the push of a button is not only more efficient but is also more cost-effective as it removes the need for expensive set-up costs – hardware for this solution is typically around 60% less than leading alternatives. 

Operations and welfare

AST’s portable satellite communication solutions can aid in delivery of education to remote schools and educational facilities, enabling services such as live tutoring, scheduled broadcasts and e-learning portals as well as access to the internet. 

Education

Remote tracking of wildlife via satellite has also become a critical tool for environmental research and nature preservation. AST’s satellite communications solutions enable fast and reliable transfer of crucially important scientific data in remote regions. Our state-of-the-art global connectivity systems can also help quick deployment of logistics, easy coordination of operations, and increased safety for personnel. 

Environmental & Research

To support animal conservation efforts, our global satellite communication systems provide you insight into the location, health and welfare of animals.

We have assisted in many conservation projects including brown bears in Sweden and lions in Africa. Tracking collars, incorporating [Iridium](/en/services/i-1) short burst data (SBD) technology, provide scientists with a flexible solution to wildlife monitoring and studies in areas where GSM coverage is limited. The collars transmit invaluable data via satellite.

AST has installed some of the most robust satellite-enabled sensors, coupled with reliable communication infrastructures, to allow monitoring of rainfall and water levels in [remote flood-prone areas such as Malaysia](https://www.theastgroup.com/en/insights/news/ast-distribution-asia-pte-ltd-ast-hdl-solutions-sdn-bhd-hdls-secure-flood-monitoring-deal-malaysian-government), enabling the collection, monitoring and interrogation of data, ultimately saving lives. 

Conservation and monitoring

Many climate change explorations and research functions are based in the polar regions, making voice and data communication impossible without satellite communications.

The [Iridium Certus®](/services/iridium-certus) service enables scientific data to be sent in the shortest time possible (at data speeds of up to 704 kbps) and relayed to the various institutes for processing. It also allows your crew and scientists to contact their families. 

Handheld satellite phones are critical, for communications and safety. Our unique solution, [IRIS](/solutions/m2-m-terminal-management), offers real-time location reports on a user-friendly portal and distress or SOS alerts.

Our [IoT](/solutions/land-io-t-and-asset-management) and machine-to-machine (M2M) solutions allow seamless connectivity to sensors for asset management. Automated monitoring allows for remote ice flow and probe data to be relayed in a timely, cost-effective manner.

Polar (Arctic and Antarctic) 

Reliable satellite and radio systems are vital for fast, effective delivery of aid where communications are poor or non-existent due to conflict or natural disaster. 

AST’s satellite communication solutions provide key workers with instant communications to quickly deploy logistics processes, share data efficiently and co-ordinate operations, while assuring their safety. 

For environmental research and nature preservation, AST’s satellite communications solutions enables fast and reliable transfer of crucially important scientific data in remote regions. 

We provide satellite communications to NGO and humanitarian organisations in the developing world.
