Case Study: Minjar Gold boosts remote mining connectivity with Vocus private network

Minjar Gold boosts connectivity 10x with Vocus

Minjar Gold, a gold mining company, faced the challenge of providing reliable, high-speed internet connectivity to its remote Marvel Loch mining operation in Western Australia. The site had no access to the standard National Broadband Network and the existing limited-speed connection was insufficient for employee needs. After exhausting other options, Minjar Gold turned to Vocus for a solution.

Vocus engineered a private network solution that combined its own extensive fibre infrastructure with partner-supplied microwave links. This provided a massive boost in connectivity speed, from 40Mbps to nearly 500Mbps. The result was a transformative improvement for both Minjar Gold employees and the local community, enabling video streaming, seamless video calls with families, and improved on-site productivity, all delivered by Vocus.
