One of the world’s oldest and most essential industries, mining, is going through a major digital transformation. Satellite connectivity has become a crucial enabler of this transition as autonomous equipment, remote operations, and real-time monitoring reshape how mining sites operate in some of the world’s most remote and challenging environments. The industry is moving from fragmented, tactical technology deployments to integrated IT/OT systems and multi-orbit architectures that deliver the right connectivity for every application, and unified operational visibility.
In this episode of the Satellite World Briefing, John McCann, Director of Natural Resources & Telecom Practices at SES, explores how satellite connectivity is changing the mining industry. John takes us through the critical technological shifts reshaping mining operations, the role of multi-orbit connectivity in addressing the latency and bandwidth needed for everything from autonomous drilling systems to IoT sensors, and how satellite solutions are bridging the IT/OT convergence challenge. Additionally, he shares his vision for a future where satellite connectivity operates as an equal partner alongside terrestrial networks and 5G, seamlessly integrating into the fabric of global connectivity.
