Satellite technology is integral for the remote monitoring and operations of various types of equipment such as pumps, gensets, slope monitors, flow meters, water and fuel level gauges, values, etc.   Such monitoring can be two-way so that the equipment can also be remotely controlled

By using remote monitoring and control, mines can reduce costs by not having to visit the equipment. Further, operations can be improved by having continuous monitoring.

Satellite messaging terminals provide a way to automate machine-to-machine (M2M) communications necessary for tracking, monitoring and messaging. With the ability to send regularly scheduled or on-demand messages and control commands, this technology can meet the ever increasing information demand of mobile and fixed remote monitoring applications that allows data sharing across a mine’s diverse operations without incurring added costs associated with continuous connectivity.
