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

Industrial Estate Connected with P2P Wireless and Bonded SHDSL Before NBN

Before NBN and Starlink existed, a customer moving into a brand new industrial estate had no copper, no ADSL and no fibre. The incumbent telco quoted $400,000 to install fibre. Instead, we built a point-to-point wireless link to a friendly neighbouring building and bonded two SHDSL connections to deliver 40 Mbps symmetrical for $500 per month. The wireless link is still in place today, upgraded to air fibre, while the SHDSL lines have been replaced with a 1 Gbps FTTP NBN connection.

Key outcomes

  • Avoided fibre build cost$400k
  • Initial symmetrical speed40 Mbps
  • Monthly SHDSL cost$500

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+

A regional veterinary practice was running cloud practice management software, diagnostic imaging and VoIP phones over a slow, unreliable connection. Staff were dropping calls and waiting minutes for X-rays to upload. We installed Swoop Enterprise Ethernet 250/250 at the clinic, a Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway and wireless access points, and a point-to-point wireless link to the vet's home office.

Dark Fibre Links a Laser Steel Factory 19 km From Its Office

A laser steel cutting factory and its head office were 19 km apart and connected only by a slow VPN over NBN. Large production files, CAD/CAM downloads and server access at the factory dragged, and there was no line of sight for a wireless link. We provisioned a dedicated Vocus dark fibre path between the sites and upgraded the office internet to 250 Mbps with WatchGuard firewalls in high availability.

Key outcomes

Print Publisher Gets 1 Gbps Swoop FTTP and Moves from POP3 to Office 365

A local print publisher was losing hours every day to slow internet and still collecting email over POP3, which pulled each message onto one computer and left nothing on a server. We installed a 1 Gbps / 400 Mbps Swoop fibre to the premises (FTTP) service and migrated the whole business from POP3 to Office 365, so mail, files and calendars are now identical on every device.
