Swift says it has signed a renewal agreement to provide 24/7 technical support services for 36 months and entertainment services for 12 months to the accommodation village at the Tropicana gold mine in Western Australia (AngloGold Ashanti 70% and manager, Regis Resources Ltd 30%).

This contract includes the provision of remote and on-ground technical support by Swift’s skilled 24/7 technical support teams. It also includes the provision of entertainment services via Swift’s reseller agreement with Foxtel.

The total contract value over the full 36-month term is A$1.2 million ($800,713) with operating costs revenue commencing in July 2024.

This agreement is for a renewal of services provided by Swift Networks and represents a well-established, long-standing relationship with AngloGold Ashanti Australia, which is a subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc, the company said. Swift and AngloGold Ashanti Australia entered their first agreement in 2015.

Swift CEO, Brian Mangano, said: “Swift places its customers at the centre of everything we do. Our teams work together to ensure that our clients are offered the best solution for their business requirements and that they are supported throughout our relationship. We always aim to be in long-term relationships, so, when our customers renew, I take this as proof that we are delivering against our customers’ requirements, and we are delivering against our brand promise.”

Swift says it has secured an installation agreement and a new three-year subscription agreement with OZ Minerals Limited to service its Carrapateena mine site, in South Australia, with Swift Access.

The total contract value of both agreements is A$1.4 million ($954,680) over the three-year subscription term and includes associated installation revenue, with installation expected to be completed in the first half of the 2023 calendar year.

Swift said this contract represents ongoing subscription revenue for Swift Access: Swift’s premium entertainment and engagement solution powered by proprietary technology developed specifically to enable a reliable service within low bandwidth environments, Swift’s local 24-hour support and other additional channels.

Swift Access will allow OZ Minerals staff to cast their favourite streaming apps from their mobile device straight to their room’s TV, all while maintaining user privacy and offering smart device setup and allows management to improve efficiencies for facility staff.

As part of the agreement, Swift Access will provide OZ Minerals staff with Swift’s full content library including first-release movies and sector-specific mental health and indigenous education resources. Swift Access also allows facility managers to easily upload and distribute site information such as inductions, health and safety messages and more, directly to TVs across the site.

The entire Swift Access experience is managed by Swift’s unique bandwidth management platform and includes support services over the three-year term.

Swift CEO, Brian Mangano, says: “This new contract continues the roll out of Swift Access to the mining industry and is another significant step in our goal to be the product of choice. We are excited to work together with OZ Minerals and look forward to creating new, innovative solutions to address the challenges of the FIFO (fly-in fly-out) lifestyle.”

Swift Networks says it has secured a new three-year agreement with Mineral Resources Limited to service its nine mine sites with Swift Access.

The contract comes with a subscription value of A$3.4 million ($2.1 million), with revenues expected to commence in second half of the company’s 2023 financial year, it said.

This contract represents ongoing subscription revenue for Swift Access: Swift’s premium entertainment and engagement solution powered by its proprietary technology developed specifically to enable a reliable service within low bandwidth environments, Swift’s local 24 hour support and other additional channels, Swift said.

Installation and upgrade work, which is additional to the A$3.4 million subscription revenue, will be performed by Swift’s in-house infrastructure team across MinRes’ portfolio on a site-by-site basis.

Swift’s flagship product, Swift Access, will be installed in over 2,000 accommodation rooms and common areas. Swift Access will allow staff to cast their favourite streaming apps from their mobile device straight to their room’s TV, all while maintaining user privacy and offering smart device setup and management to improve efficiencies for facility staff, Swift says. As part of the agreement, Swift Access will provide Mineral Resources staff with Swift’s full content library including first release movies and sector-specific mental health and indigenous education resources.

Swift Access also allows facility managers to easily upload and distribute site information such as inductions, health and safety messages and more directly to TVs across the site.

Swift CEO, Brian Mangano, says: “For the past five years, Mineral Resources and Swift have enjoyed a strong partnership based on the mutual values of innovation and high-performance outcomes. MinRes was the first mining company to trial Swift Access at its Wonmunna camp (the mine site pictured above) in Western Australia earlier this year. This latest collaboration is a natural next step in Swift’s mission to assist MinRes in providing an outstanding workplace experience.

“We are excited to grow a Swift and MinRes partnership and look forward to working together to create new, innovative solutions to address the challenges of the FIFO lifestyle.”

Swift CEO, Brian Mangano, says: “These new projects not only represent an increase in project activity but are the result of long-standing relationships between Swift and resource sector clients.
