A safety alert fails to transmit. CCTV drops offline. A haul truck moves beyond the edge of Wi-Fi coverage and suddenly the operations team loses visibility. For many Tier-2 miners in Australia, connectivity issues are not theoretical IT problems—they directly affect safety, operational efficiency, and production. Mines increasingly rely on real-time data, remote monitoring, autonomous…
For most remote operators, connectivity projects are slow, expensive and overcomplicated. Traditional Private LTE deployments often involve months of planning, spectrum licensing, civil works and seven-figure budgets before a single device connects. ProConnect was built to remove that friction. As a managed 4G and 5G Private LTE alternative, ProConnect delivers private-network outcomes for remote sites…
Reliable connectivity is no longer optional for remote and regional operations. Mining sites, agricultural enterprises, energy projects and construction camps depend on stable networks to support safety systems, CCTV, SCADA, voice, data and day-to-day productivity. For years, organisations seeking this level of connectivity have been steered toward Private LTE. In reality, many discover that traditional…
For remote operations, connectivity does not stop where the fence ends. Crews move across vast areas, vehicles travel well beyond site boundaries, and critical assets operate kilometres from core infrastructure. Yet many networks are still designed as if everything happens inside a neatly drawn perimeter. This is where most remote connectivity strategies fail. ProConnect was…
Reliable LTE for off-grid solar-powered sites is no longer a future concept. It is a practical requirement for modern operations across mining, renewables, construction, agriculture and remote infrastructure in Australia. When a site has no grid power, no fibre, and little or no mobile coverage, communications quickly become the weakest link. Safety systems drop out.…
Remote mining connectivity has become critical infrastructure. Modern mine sites rely on stable networks for safety systems, CCTV, environmental monitoring, SCADA, automation, workforce communications and operational visibility. Yet many operations across Australia are located far from existing telecommunications infrastructure, where fibre builds are slow, expensive and often impractical. For operators working in remote environments, the…
A managed 4G/5G network is a fully delivered mobile connectivity solution provided as an operational service rather than a traditional telecommunications build. Instead of owning infrastructure, securing spectrum, and managing network performance internally, organisations subscribe to a professionally managed service that delivers reliable, secure cellular coverage where it is needed most. For businesses operating in…
Private LTE is often positioned as the ultimate connectivity solution for mines, energy projects, construction camps and other remote industrial sites across Australia. It promises secure coverage, reliable performance and full operational control in environments where public mobile networks fall short. What is discussed far less openly is cost. Not just the number presented in…
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, 13 August 2025 MarchNet Acquires FSG Fixed Wireless Networks in QLD, NSW and VIC MarchNet, a specialist in regional and remote telecommunications, has completed the acquisition of select Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) network assets and customers from Field Solutions Group Pty Ltd (Receivers and Managers Appointed) (In Liquidation)…
Private LTE and 5G networks are growing in popularity across mining, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure. But not all solutions are created equal. At MarchNet, we’ve developed ProConnect – a smarter, fully managed, business-grade 4G and 5G network service purpose-built for regional and remote Australia. While traditional Private LTE networks may offer site-based coverage, ProConnect goes…
