Starlink for Mining, Surface and Subterranean Mines

“Starlink for Surface Mining and Subterranean Mines“

Surface mines and subterranean mining sites are often located in isolated, infrastructure-limited areas where traditional internet service providers (ISPs) and cellular providers won’t reach.

ProSat Networks 1-844-799-0258 are experts in designing, installing and maintaining the Starlink ISP powered IT networks that support mining communications, operational and safety systems coupled with long-range WiFi and kinetic mesh wireless network solutions to keep smaller and larger, surface and below ground mining operations connected, productive and safe even in the most rugged environments.

Benefits of Starlink for Surface Mining & Subterranean Operations

Broadband Internet and Enterprise Level Capacity for Mining Systems

Starlink’s advanced low-earth orbit satellite (LEO) delivers high-speed, low-latency internet for mining operations anywhere on planet Earth.

LOCAL PRIORITY* business-class data plan:
150+Mbps download, 15+Mbps upload (daily we are seeing double/triple+ these speeds)
*prioritized over the various Residential data plans
Up your backhaul to increase network capacity with multiple Starlink terminals (dishes)
Support unified communications systems (above and below ground), security camera systems, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) & HMI (Human Machine Interfaces) systems, safety systems, fan & other automation controls, miner health & tracking devices, siesmic monitors, gas monitors, any IoTs.

Industrial-Grade Reliability & Redundancy

Starlink’s Performance Gen3 dish is engineered with industrial durability in mind, making it highly suitable for harsh and demanding environments like mining and quarry sites.

IP68 (unplugged), IP69K (plugged in)
Its sealed, weather-resistant design protects internal components from dust intrusion, heavy rainfall, intense UV exposure, and fluctuating temperatures common in open-pit, surface and subterranean mining opertations.
Protect your miners with a LEO satellite ISP solution or two:
Starlink and Amazon Leo for redundancy
LEO satellite as primary or secondary back-up and cellular options

Empower Comms, Security, Safety, Health, Automation & Remote Support

Support a smaller or robust IT network infrastructure
Maintain LAN/WLAN/WAN/SD-WAN unified communications
Monitor SCADA and HMI support systems
Track miners health and location devices
Monitor safety & environmental systems (e.g. gas, seismic)
Access automation systems (e.g. auxilliary fans)
Stream security cameras and for remote monitoring
Inventory and supply chain management systems
Enable remote support capabilities with 24/7 access

Starlink Internet for Subterranean Sites

Scalable for Start-Up & Growing Mining Sites

SCALE Starlink as your mining operation grows to support higher data demands with more users and devices with multiple Starlink terminals (dishes). Merge multiple Starlink terminals (dishes) at 1 site so they are unified and distributed as 1 or multiple networks (LAN/WAN/SD-WAN).

Solar-Powered Starlink Deployments in Rural Locations

Solar-Powered Starlink Internet Deployments

In remote mining operations where grid power is limited or unreliable, solar-powered Starlink systems offer a resilient and energy-efficient solution. By combining Starlink terminals with off-grid solar arrays and battery storage, mining companies can maintain continuous Internet connectivity without relying on diesel generators or utility infrastructure.

Use-Cases of Starlink Internet for Mining & Subterranean Operations

Above-the-Ground Operations

a. Real-Time Operational Monitoring
Starlink for mining operations allows seamless data transmission between remote mining sites and centralized control centers.

b. Remote Equipment Control and Automation
Starlink’s low latency supports the remote operation of autonomous haul trucks, drilling rigs, and conveyor systems.

c. Business Continuity and Cloud Integration
Starlink can also acts as a redundant Internet link in case of terrestrial network failures, keeping essential business processes running.

d. Workforce Connectivity and Welfare
In remote mining camps, Starlink improves living conditions by enabling video calls, online training, and entertainment access.

Subterranean Operations

a. Subterranean Connectivity Support
Thw satellite signals cannot penetrate underground tunnels, Starlink provides the surface-level communication backbone that can be extended below ground through wired backhaul, fiber relays or wireless mesh networks. This integration supports connectivity in mine shafts, tunnels, subways, and bunkers, ensuring continuous communication and data flow between subterranean teams and surface control rooms.

b. Real-Time Equipment and Personnel Tracking
By leveraging IoT sensors and underground relay systems connected to Starlink, operators can monitor vehicle movement, equipment status and personnel location in real time. This visibility improves coordination and enhances operational safety in confined underground environments.

Safety and Environmental Operations

a. Emergency Communication Systems
Real-time voice and video communication, digital alert systems and telemetry data help coordinate rescue and evacuation efforts more efficiently.

b. Video Surveillance and Monitoring
High-definition cameras connected via Starlink support live video streaming for perimeter security, equipment monitoring, and safety compliance.

c. Environmental Monitoring and Compliance
With IoT-enabled environmental sensors, mining companies can measure and transmit air quality, vibration, water contamination and other data in real time.
