Built Private P2P Wireless Network in a Closed Mining Town

A closed mining town had no usable telco infrastructure and overloaded 5G, leaving 200 homes and small businesses without reliable internet. We designed and built a private point-to-point wireless network from a hilltop POP to every property.

Key outcomes

  • homes and businesses connected200+
  • minimum speed to the POP per property500Mbps
  • segregated internet breakouts at the tower2x 1Gbps

6-Hop Solar Microwave Network Delivers 100 Mbps Fibre to Remote Mine Site

Before Starlink existed, a remote Western Australian mine site was stuck on a 2 Mbps/2 Mbps satellite link. We designed and built a six-hop solar-powered microwave network to a Tom Price business with a 100 Mbps fibre connection, connecting the mine to its head office for the first time at real broadband speeds. The big-T telco wanted $4.6 million to run fibre; our solution was built for $69,000 excluding the existing Tom Price connection supplied by the mining company.

Key outcomes

  • Bandwidth delivered100 Mbps
  • Cost vs telco quote98% saved
  • Microwave hops6

30 km Haul Road CCTV and Fibre Network for a Mine Site

A mining company had no visibility along its 30 km haul road, so operations could not confirm road conditions, traffic or safety incidents in real time. As part of a broader communications upgrade running fibre from the wharf to the mine and camp, we partnered with a fibre installer to extend fibre the full length of the haul road and build 35 solar-powered CCTV towers. Every tower switch was connected directly back to the fibre backbone — no wireless backhaul was used because the terrain was too hilly, and the fibre was being installed anyway.

Key outcomes

  • Haul road length30 km
  • Solar CCTV towers35
  • Fibre terminations90+
