Mining companies invest millions of dollars in vehicles, trucks, heavy equipment and skilled personnel. Ensuring their safety and security is a must to care for lives, protect investment, reduce operation costs and ensure continuous operation. Because cellular-based tracking and monitoring equipment typically does not work around and between mine sites, mining companies rely on satellite communications. SkyWave offers low-cost satellite communication terminals and air-time that provide crucial GPS location and utilization information for tracking and monitoring equipment. Users of SkyWave products enjoy the following benefits:

Ensure security of drivers and other personnel.

Use GPS information and panic buttons to ensure safety of vehicles and drivers when transporting material between sites.

Manage fleets and improve equipment use.

Use GPS information and two-way satellite communications to quickly locate vehicles and heavy equipment.

Minimize equipment failure and reduced maintenance costs.

Track mileage and number of hours that equipment is being used and schedule maintenance as required – no more guessing.

Reduce excessive idling and fuel consumption.

Receive alerts when equipment is idling for too long in order to reduce wear on equipment and fuel consumption.

Reduce speeding.

Ensure vehicles are being operated at safe speeds and safety of driver and security of cargo is not compromised by speeding. Receive alarm notifications when excessive speeding is detected or an accident occurs.

Get the best of both worlds.

Use dual-mode satellite/cellular terminals to get frequent logistics information when equipment is in cellular area and visibility when equipment leaves cellular areas.
