Technology, such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and virtual reality, is transforming safety, productivity, and profitability in mining. Yet, none of these can be enabled without connectivity.

SES’s next-generation medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellite constellation, O3b mPOWER, enables miners to deliver an enhanced digital experience without the limitations of capacity, speed, and reach. This high-throughput satellite connectivity network enables public and private network connectivity, from aggregated data rates of up to multiple gigabits, directly to any mining site.

Using the combined MEO and Geostationary (GEO) networks, SES is an integrated multi-orbit solutions provider to mining operators, offering high data rates, minimal latency, and flexible satellite services. The SES ecosystem allows mines to cost-effectively and dynamically scale connectivity as needed.
