Whether you’re looking to enhance safety for workers in remote pits, expand real-time visibility over your fleet, or automate assets in areas without terrestrial connectivity, Viasat provides the connectivity you need to transform the way you work. Our services and solutions cover all stages of your processes — from exploration and mining to milling and distribution — helping you to maximize the productivity of your operations.
Safety and sustainability
We know that technology can play a key role in helping you achieve Zero Harm operations, but technology is only as strong as the connectivity that underpins it.
Viasat provides the tools you need to not only better manage on-site safety, but also comply with environmental governance, and fulfil the standards of your corporate social license to operate. Whether it is monitoring fleets, staying in contact with exploration teams in remote pits, or monitoring closed tailing storage facilities, we help you stay proactive instead of reactive when it comes to safety.
Exploration
Is the search for tomorrow’s key deposits keeping you awake at night? Exploration can be tricky. When you’re navigating remote regions, crossing borders, managing safety and security, performing sample analyses, or maintaining communications with base, there’s a lot to think about. You don’t want connectivity woes getting in the way as well. Viasat can help you overcome the exploration challenges and speed up the whole process.
With our portfolio of connectivity services and solutions, you can connect your exploration operations like never before. You could use our IsatPhone 2 handsets to keep in contact with remote workers and ensure their safety, or deploy our BGAN service to gain greater insights into drilling analytics. We’ve got you covered.

Production
A connected mine is a smarter mine, and a smarter mine is a more profitable mine. With reliable connectivity, you can automate assets in remote locations and see key metrics across your fleet that could help you improve efficiencies. We’re here to make this possible, wherever you might be.
Whether you need to monitor vehicle telemetry data from trucks on site, or understand the performance of your excavators, Viasat’s connectivity services and bespoke solutions enable you to mitigate efficiency risks and keep operations optimized at all times.
Distribution
Optimizing supply chains is no easy task. All too often, inefficient operations and sometimes even accidents are caused by trains and ships moving through areas without reliable connectivity. With Viasat’s connectivity services and solutions, you’ll know exactly where your shipments are at all times, enabling smarter decision-making and more transparency in your supply chain.
Working with us, you can rest assured that your goods can be tracked from pit to port, and all the way to the customer with ease. We’ll help you and your supply chain stay secure, efficient, and profitable.
