BGAN For Mining
BGAN provides instant, remote voice and high-speed data connectivity for all stages of the mining cycle, from mineral exploration through to mine closure. Exploration teams can send test data, still images and video to geophysicists back in the lab for immediate analysis and results, wherever they're working or for how long - increasing the success rate of exploration and enabling you to act faster to exploit new deposits. 
BGAN terminals are ruggedised, highly portable, and can be set up in minutes - ideal for optimising the limited time companies have for exploration and extraction. Terminals are compatible with a variety of third-party peripherals designed specifically for the industry, which help to: - Raise productivity and reduce travel costs - transfer data from the field to the lab immediately, without having to send a vehicle back to base or to wait for connectivity
- Better control site establishment progress and management - email status reports with images, chase suppliers and contractors, join conference calls, conduct event-driven research and access company databases
- Increase the speed and quality of decision-making - use video or videoconferencing, and email multiple views of images, maps and plots for expert input from sub-contractors, geological engineers, geologists and industry consultants located back at base
- Improve asset monitoring and site security - remote site surveillance with CCTV cameras to protect your site, as well as monitoring assets and personnel
- Enhance the safety of your workers - dependable front-line communications enabling immediate response in case of incident or injury

Applications & Benefits
ApplicationsStandard office applications: email, internet, intranet, VPN, FTP, telephony, VoIP, file transfer, fax- Field technicians emailing exploration data, still images and video to headquarters for expert analysis either while on site or on the move• Conduct event-driven internet research and access company databases• Project managers sending progress reports and chasing suppliers and contractors• Remote mechanical assistance and telemedicine via live audio and video streaming
Remote site surveillance for monitoring assets and personnel- Welfare communications for remote workers
Key benefits- Quickly establish voice and high-speed data connectivity in areas of poor or nonexistent terrestrial infrastructure• Field technicians can send exploration data and images back to base for analysis immediately, without having to send a vehicle or wait for connectivity• On-site teams can send high-quality, live video of activities and discuss with headquarters by phone at the same time via a single device, resulting in improved analysis and decision-making
- Better control of site establishment process and management as project managers can start sending progress reports and chasing suppliers and contractors as soon as they arrive on site
- Reduces mine operation downtime by enabling service teams to send data, still images and video back to headquarters for remote diagnosis and assistance
- Extremely robust terminals that can withstand challenging environments and extreme temperatures
Serves as back-up to fixed communications infrastructure once site has been established Immediate front-line communications in case of incident or injury BGAN terminals can easily be carried in a backpack or hand luggage by project managers travelling alone• Less personnel required to carry equipment, reducing operating costs• Vehicular interior units take up minimal space in the car, with a discreet tracking antenna mounted on the roof No technical expertise or training required• Do not need additional personnel to install BGAN equipment, reducingoperating costs Quick and easy to set up and down Compatible with industry-specific 3rd party peripherals There are terminals that enable an instant wireless LAN so that remote teams can share a single BGAN connection Compatible with a wide range of standard networking and connectivity solutions: wireless routers, VPNs, thin-client software, FTP applications• With a vehicular BGAN terminal you can access high-speed data while ‘on the move’ BGAN supports both ISDN and IP connectivity solutions, so integrates seamlessly with existing network infrastructure Can be used without a laptop interface Significantly lower costs for terminals and airtime compared with previous mobile satellite services No set-up costs Can be deployed to more mobile teams, enabling real-time communications from more locations Password and SIM card protection to ensure only authorised staff have access
