Remote site networks for raw materials operations
Connect pits, quarries, scale houses, and field offices with reliable links, segmented networks, and secure remote access far from town.
Quarries, mines, and timber operations work at sites where connectivity is an afterthought. Scale houses need to reach the office, cameras watch equipment and gates, and managers want to check systems from the road. The usual result is a patchwork of consumer equipment and shared passwords.
We survey the sites, design links that cover the distances involved, and separate scale, camera, equipment, and office traffic into zones. Secure remote access lets managers and vendors reach what they need without exposing systems to the internet.
Things to keep in mind
- Dust, weather, and vibration call for rugged equipment and protected mounting.
- Blasting and heavy equipment schedules affect when installation can happen.
- Keep a fallback plan for the scale house if the main link fails.
How it works
Survey sites
Map buildings, distances, line of sight, power, and devices at each site.
Plan links
Choose point-to-point wireless, cellular, or wired links for each location.
Segment and secure
Separate scale, camera, equipment, and office networks, and set up secure remote access.
Document
Record equipment, configuration, and access so the network can be maintained.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work at remote sites?
Yes. Onsite work is $100 to $150 per hour, with travel and equipment priced separately.
Can we see cameras from anywhere?
Yes, through secure remote access with MFA rather than ports opened to the internet.
