How satellite communications can be critical for safety of miners. The answer to miner safety lies in satellite communications

As humans we are heavily reliant on natural resources. We reach back to the earth for various precious resources right from minerals, metals, natural gases, petroleum and other energy sources. Millions of men risk their lives on daily basis in deep dark trenches across hundreds of mines in the country. Regulatory changes and improvement in safety standards have drastically brought down the fatalities from mining activities, but the inherent risk associated with the occupation remains unchanged. While risk cannot be completely eliminated, a great deal of it can be mitigated by leveraging the power of technology. VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) satellite communication can provide cost effective and reliable options that can be critically useful in times of an emergency.
