SES and AXESS Networks (AXESS) are accelerating the digital transition of the mining industry with SES’s second-generation medium earth orbit (MEO) system O3b mPOWER.
Under this multi-year, multi-million agreement, the mining sector users will benefit from the cutting-edge low-latency Onshore Energy & Mining mPOWERED connectivity service. This service provides the highest throughput available from a satellite system and delivers dedicated and carrier-grade networks to AXESS’s customers reliably, regardless of their remote locations.
Simon GattySaunt, Vice President of Networks Sales, Europe, at SES, said, “Transition towards smart mining is already turbocharging profits and revolutionizing industry’s environmental and societal impact. We are proud of the success our partnership with AXESS has already had in facilitating this change, thanks to our multi-orbit GEO and MEO network, and are excited to further accelerate it with the O3b mPOWER service.”
