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+

Regional Vet Clinic Upgraded to Swoop Enterprise Ethernet and Ubiquiti

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.

Key outcomes

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

  • dedicated dark fibre between sites10Gbps
  • private fibre span19km
  • symmetrical office internet250Mbps

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.

Hyper-V and Synology Cluster Replicated Across Two NEXTDC Datacentres

A client holding close to 900 TB of business-critical data needed enterprise resilience without losing control of their own infrastructure. We designed and built a two-site private cloud: Hyper-V compute clusters and Synology storage clusters in two NEXTDC datacentres, replicated for automatic failover, wired together with dark fibre to the client's office, and backed up over an express route to Wasabi using Veeam Backup & Replication. The office runs on Vocus 2 Gbps / 2 Gbps symmetrical fibre internet, sized for the traffic a two-site private cloud generates.

Key outcomes

  • of client data protected across two datacentres900TB
  • NEXTDC datacentres with automatic failover2
  • Hyper-V hosts and Synology appliances per site4+4
