MINERS ARE UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF AI IN THEIR OPERATIONS BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF NEW DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE AI MINING REVOLUTION

Mining is on the cusp of a new industrial revolution. The team at Vocus has witnessed firsthand how artificial intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge connectivity are transforming mineralrich regions.

The fusion of Al, high-speed networks, and edge computing isn't just enhancing existing operations - it's redefining what's possible.

Australian mining has always been at the forefront of innovation, with the world's largest fleet of autonomous haul trucks. But to fully capitalise on Al's potential, miners have been telling Vocus they need digital infrastructure that rivals metros like Singapore or Sydney.

That's why Vocus is investing heavily in expanding its fibre network well beyond traditional areas served by telcos in inner cities and intercapital routes.

Why is this so important? Because in mining, milliseconds matter. When sensors collect data, AI models analyse it, and decisions are issued to autonomous equipment, speed is critical.

Minimising the distance that data needs to travel is important. It could take more than four times longer to send data over to the east coast of Australia than a data centre close to a mine, or 10 times longer if the data has to be sent all the way to the US, where most of the world's big AI models are still being trained.
