MarchNet’s National Sales Director, Andrew Walpole, will be heading to Melbourne next week from 13 - 15 October to meet with clients, attend Comms Connect and the ARCIA Gala Dinner & Awards Night. It is a great opportunity to keep up to date with critical communications technology and trends, and network with colleagues and industry professionals.

Make sure you take the opportunity to reach out to Andrew to catch up or to learn how MarchNet can deliver connectivity for your project or site.

Delivering fibre-like microwave connectivity to one of North Queensland’s most remote mine sites.

We're proud to share a case study highlighting how MarchNet was engaged by a telecommunications carrier specialising in direct fibre services, to design a high‑capacity fibre-like telecommunications solution for one of its mining clients operating at a mine site located approximately 130km north of Mount Isa in remote North Queensland.

The site’s isolation and terrain presented unique challenges in delivering carrier‑grade connectivity capable of supporting modern mining operations. MarchNet designed and delivered a five‑hop microwave network of 135km end-to-end, including two repeater sites accessible only via helicopter.

The result? Fibre-like connectivity with 1/1Gbps bandwidth and 99.9% availability supporting the critical operations of the remote mine site now and into the future.

At QMIHSC 2026 MarchNet’s Milan Coric presented on the journey from two-way voice to situational awareness - the safety case for mission-critical, standards-based mobile broadband in remote mining operations.

The video of Milan's presentation is now available here: https://www.qmihsconference.org.au/video/coric-from-two-way-voice-to-situational-awareness-the-safety-case-for-mission-critical-standards-based-mobile-broadband-in-remote-mining-operations/

The presentation explores the case for standards-based mobile broadband to enrich traditional mission-critical voice and basic location information with live video and imagery, live location information, real-time messaging, forms and workflows to improve safety, incident management and response.

Delivering communications to one of the most remote locations in Australia - the MarchNet Field Services team are onsite at a remote island off the north-west coast of WA installing and commissioning a communications and entertainment solution for a worker accommodation village.

The planning and logistics to get to this point have been incredible, with months of collaborative effort between MarchNet, our client and the site controller.

One of the most critical phases in delivering a high-availability microwave network is the desktop design process.

Recently, our team has been working through the desktop design of a diverse microwave communications network for a major renewable energy project in Southeast Queensland, designed to provide resilient connectivity across geographically dispersed sites. The objective is simple - eliminate single points of failure and ensure operational continuity when it matters most.

A key aspect of the design has been the incorporation of diverse fibre backhaul, with Yurika forming part of the strategy to provide geographical and carrier diversity, which will deliver protection against infrastructure outages and ultimately improved network availability. MarchNet’s Geoff Marsh and Pieter Delport with Yurika’s Tony Riley working through the location options.

When it comes to designing 4G and 5G networks, predictive coverage mapping is a powerful planning tool, but validating those predictions with real-world measurements ensures networks deliver the performance operations depend on.

MarchNet recently completed a detailed coverage assessment of its ProConnect 4G and 5G dedicated mobile data network deployment at a major coal mine in central Queensland, combining carrier-grade RF modelling with real-world drive testing validation.

Using advanced propagation modelling, network coverage was predicted across the operational area and subsequently validated through extensive field surveys. The results showed strong correlation between predicted and measured coverage, confirming that the network is performing in line with design expectations and providing confidence for onsite operations and for future planning and expansion.

Keeping remote workforces connected where traditional networks can't reach.
We're proud to share a case study highlighting how MarchNet delivered a resilient, high-capacity internet and managed Wi-Fi solution for a major pumped hydro energy storage project in regional Queensland.

Faced with rugged terrain and no existing telecommunications infrastructure, the initial deployment required rapid, reliable connectivity for an accommodation village with more than 300 residents. MarchNet designed and deployed a diverse LEO satellite solution, combining multiple satellite constellations with advanced SD-WAN technology to deliver high availability, performance and scalability.

The result? Reliable connectivity that supports worker wellbeing, productivity and safety, facilitating the construction of critical renewable energy infrastructure projects in some of Australia's most challenging environments.

MarchNet is proud to be attending the 37th Annual Queensland Mining Industry Health and Safety Conference (QMIHSC 2026) on the Gold Coast this week.

This year's theme, "Our Greatest Resource, Our People," highlights the importance of prioritising the health, safety and wellbeing of the people who keep the industry moving.

On Wednesday 19 August, MarchNet’s very own Milan Coric will be presenting on topic of “From two-way voice to situational awareness: The safety case for mission-critical, standards-based mobile broadband in remote mining operations.”
