Galaxy’s communication solutions can be provided to an open pit mine or an exploration project. We understand that mining companies require a secure and reliable connection that can be redeployed wherever the project goes.
Galaxy solutions are scalable to expand as the project moves through its various phases.
Case Study: Agnico Eagle Gold Mine
Agnico Eagle is a senior gold producer with 8 mines across Canada, Finland, and Mexico. Agnico Eagle met with Galaxy and chose to do a Proof of Concept with our mobile “SCOUT” unit, a satellite dish in a box complete with a VoIP phone router, wireless access point and cables.
After deploying a rental SCOUT at their Amaruq exploration project in Meadowbank NU for a few months, Agnico Eagle purchased the unit based on the SCOUT’s excellent performance. Soon after, Agnico Eagle purchased a second SCOUT for their Meliadine NU project.
“ Challenge: Agnico needed a portable quick deploy system that was easy to set up and reliable in the harsh environments of Nunavut. “
Case Study: Royal Nickel
At a remote camp in Salluit Quebec, Royal Nickel Corporation begun their gold exploration operations in the summer of 2017. The camp is a 50 man operation that includes sleeping accommodations, a kitchen, and office personnel.
RNC had been experiencing reliability issues with their previous satellite supplier in the area, as well as needing a way to control bandwidth but also maximize the experience for their users. Additionally, they needed VoIP services that they could use to connect to their offices in Ontario and Quebec.
Galaxy proposed a Full Camp Solution for Royal Nickel, that offered them all of the above requirements, as well as including Shaw TV.
“ Challenge: Royal Nickel needed a more reliable communication service than their previous provider supplied, while also needing to control bandwidth and budget. “
“The portable unit was quickly deployed by our crew and the technical support was very helpful and available. We used it for about two months and the link was very stable and dependable, we never experienced any slowdowns or disconnections during that period. The voice over IP was very clear even when the Internet was under heavy usage by the rest of the crew, we always had a clear channel to communicate (with a Canadian phone number) with our crew even in a remote area, which is very important for the safety of everyone. We were very pleased with the overall experience and we will use a SCOUT unit the next time we need an Internet and phone connection remotely!”
