Mining Operations Technology Connectivity

SCADA, control systems, and production monitoring that never stops.
Operational technology systems are the nervous system of modern mining. SCADA, PLCs, DCS, and production monitoring systems generate and consume data continuously.

When OT connectivity fails, production stops, safety systems go blind, and compliance reporting gaps emerge.

Challenges We Solve

Latency sensitivity:

Control loops require consistent, low-latency connectivity

Security requirements

IT/OT segmentation is mandatory for cybersecurity

Reliability demands

OT systems require higher availability than IT systems

Legacy protocols:

Many OT systems use protocols that don't tolerate packet loss

Remote locations

Processing plants, substations, and remote assets beyond terrestrial coverage

OpsSure for OT Networks

OpsSure delivers the reliability OT systems demand.

Multi-path architecture with sub-second failover ensures control systems maintain connectivity even when primary links degrade.

Guaranteed BandwidthDedicated capacity for OT traffic, not best-effort sharing

QoS prioritisationControl traffic prioritised over bulk data transfers

Segmented networksPhysical or logical separation of IT and OT traffic

24/7 monitoring: Proactive alerting before issues impact operations

OT Connectivity

Use Cases

SCADA Backhaul

Reliable connectivity for SCADA systems monitoring and controlling remote assets. RTU and PLC communications with guaranteed delivery.

Production Monitoring

Real-time production data from pit to plant to port. Crusher throughput, conveyor status, stockpile levels, and shipping schedules.

Environmental Monitoring

Air quality, water quality, noise, and dust monitoring systems. Regulatory compliance requires continuous data with no gaps.

Process Control Systems

DCS connectivity for processing plants. Mill control, flotation circuits, and leach systems requiring low-latency, high-reliability links.
