OUTthere magazine, the in-flight magazine for Australia’s largest regional airlines (e.g. Rex (Regional Express), Skywest, Airlink, Airnorth and Skytrans) reports in VSAT satellite technology’s ability to improve remote mine site conditions through providing faster, higher-quality and more cost-effective connectivity. Today, due to opportunities for remote miners to expand their bandwidth, systems like those of the VSAT satellite technology provide more secure, individual platforms. It allows miners to receive comparable internet speeds and enjoy the latest 5-Star entertainment. Ashley Neale, regional sales manager of Australian satellite communications company NewSat, states how the entertainment on mine sites has developed from simply having only phone calls and limited internet connection to a complete entertainment platform for every worker which delivers free-to-air television, Foxtel, radio and internet via satellite communications. These benefits now rivals many metropolitan solutions. It is a very good idea to give miners this entertainment since being away from home can be very tough on them. Keeping them happy will not motivate them, but will also lead to lower staff turnover rates. See: Satellite Communications Company
