The challenge

The mine had limited network infrastructure across several operational areas: fibre links between facilities needed improving, there were too few network points for users and devices, and wireless coverage had gaps.

The DET solution

DET assessed the site to identify gaps, planned the implementation, expanded fibre between key facilities, installed additional network points and deployed wireless access points where coverage was weak.

What was delivered

  • Site assessment and implementation planning
  • Fibre expansion between facilities
  • Additional network points
  • Wireless access points in low-coverage areas

The outcome

A more secure, reliable and connected ICT environment supporting the mine’s operational and business requirements.
