Exploration

During the mining exploration phase, robust communications and high transfer rates are critical to the exploration being a success as it relies heavily on collecting and transferring data for analysis. Reliable connectivity is also vital for monitoring the safety of remote workers and is an important factor to their wellbeing.  

Robust and reliable communications 

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

If you’re moving about during the exploration phases, BGAN terminals 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.
