NewSat showcased its many products and services, including Internet, data, voice and video conferencing perfectly suited to mining operations. The company also discussed how its world-class teleport facilities can provide the necessary communications platform for entertainment systems in the mining sites. With satellite communications, the FIFO scheme in the industry has been given an alternative, and along with operations efficiency, employee welfare has been improved.
Just recently, the company snagged a lucrative teleport contract along with BAE Systems, to deliver offshore and onshore communications to the Wheatstone Project in Western Australia.
