You’re not alone out here

   

 

We’re with you. To us, anywhere is just next door. Cygnus specialises in remote area data and voice communications systems. We’re ready and keen to help you implement a bespoke remote area communications solution that precisely fits your organisation’s needs. No communications problem is too small – or too large – for us to solve.

Remote regions of Australia are sparsely populated, but they are often rich in resources and potential wealth. The need for full strength data and voice communications in isolated locations is expanding rapidly, yet traditional telecommunications can’t easily or cost-effectively handle this expansion. Miners, constructors, energy providers, resource explorers, primary producers, emergency services, small communities,

governments and others working in isolated areas cannot wait for communications to catch up with their operations and goals. Forward thinking organisations need 24/7 remote communications bandwidth today – for voice and data. The reasons to invest in more effective remote area communications are compelling, however the logistics can seem daunting. That’s where we come in.

By providing tailored services and support that exactly match the needs of our clients, Cygnus simplifies the process of building remote primary and backup satellite communications. We design, install and operate secure, robust and cost-effective communications where broadband, cellular or landline services don’t exist, are unreliable or lack capability. We help our clients stay productive and resilient and improve their capacity to quickly capitalise on new opportunities in more places. Cygnus powers the remote satellite communications services of Australia’s largest telco, enabling it to extend its reach to virtually every corner of Australia

through fixed, temporary and trailer-based satellite systems. Cygnus has now launched Private LTE systems that operate in a similar way to 4G cellular data networks, with added security and the capability to provide metropolitan levels of communications to virtually any remote location in Australia. For those situations where failsafe communications are required around the clock and in any conditions, Cygnus offers backup solutions that will keep your operations functioning normally and your people safe. That’s the business we’re in. Cygnus provides all the right connections for your operations in the outback, in extremes of weather and terrain, 24/7.

Cygnus Satellite is Australia’s most dynamic wholesale provider of remote area data and voice satellite services and Private LTE networks.

Satellite broadband makes good business sense for organisations that need to guarantee the quality and coverage of remote communications, extend their reach, improve efficiency and protect their business assets. Our satellite solutions provide remote office locations with the same speed, connectivity and service available to densely populated regions on fibre networks. Cygnus Satellite services are scalable, secure and integrate seamlessly with existing telecommunications networks, providing full access to all business applications and services.

Cygnus Private LTE Remote data communications. Unrestrained.

Many applications eat up bandwidth. This is a challenge in any location, but for operations in the distant outback of Australia lack of cost-effective bandwidth is a major inhibitor for mission critical applications, business expansion and your capacity to quickly capitalise on new opportunities. The solution is Cygnus Private LTE. High speed production data, remote operation and monitoring, surveillance, biometrics, safe working practices, SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition), communications backup, Tele-health, VoIP and ultra high definition video are just some of the practical applications that already demand the security, robustness and sheer grunt that Private LTE offers. Private LTE is the technology which will take the mining, resources and infrastructure industries, in particular, to the next phase of their evolution. This will be a move from rapid expansion to improved use of assets and a reduction in new capital spending. Cygnus Private LTE expands your organisation’s future potential, considerably reduces onsite labour costs and enables full implementation of current and emerging processes and technologies. Automated solutions with minimal staff involvement and 24/7 operations become possible, increasing return on existing infrastructure investment. Cygnus Private LTE operates in a similar way to a standard LTE network, using comparable cell towers and infrastructure. It also offers the flexibility of mobile, trailer-based antennae that can easily move wherever your operations need to be.

Cygnus Private LTE is robust, flexible, secure and able to handle the bandwidth demands of applications that are data dependent. Cygnus Private LTE also allows you to continue to use and receive support for legacy devices such as smart phones, PCs and tablets.

Your Private LTE network can backhaul with Cygnus Satellite systems or your existing carrier’s satellite or fibre network. Base cell design and capacity can be configured in a number of different ways to service up to 2,000 Private LTE subscribers.

Various antenna types and technology can be used to enable coverage with significant overlap or no overlap. Self-healing redundancy can be designed-in should any cell fail.

Cygnus MSP Off the beaten track communications.

The brilliant, rugged, trailer-based Cygnus Mobile Satellite Platform (MSP) brings the freedom of temporary, flexible communications to remote communities, camps, mining sites and any off the beaten track location. The MSP goes anywhere a 4WD can go. Whether you’ve just established a base and are waiting for more permanent landline or satellite connections, or are moving from point to point across vast distances on a survey trip, the Cygnus MSP provides a temporary satellite communications system in virtually any location. Everything is packed into an easy to use trailer, designed and manufactured in Australia by Cygnus Satellite. The MSP’s antenna can be manually or automatically deployed, so no special skills are needed to connect quickly with the outside world. You can tow the trailer or airlift it by helicopter into hard to reach sites. Even if you have access to permanent remote terrestrial communications, the MSP can provide essential backup to keep you connected wherever you are in the vast Australian outback.

Cygnus Communications Backup Planning

When you’re in the middle of nowhere, you don’t want to be left alone.

Cygnus designs satellite and Private LTE backup communications networks that keep working when mainstream systems fail. Our backup solutions ensure that you can have near-metropolitan levels of communications 24/7, virtually anywhere in Australia and in any weather. If you have people working in remote areas you need to plan for all emergencies. Not just for your team’s safety, but also to maintain vital voice and data communications. Miners, constructors, oil and gas survey teams, people working in agriculture, emergency services personnel and anyone who has a job to do in remote areas needs to be able to stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues. Just as importantly, you need to know that your data payloads won’t be interrupted and SCADA systems (supervisory control and data acquisition) will continue to function. This is especially crucial when large investments are at stake. We work with Tigertail Australia, a leading provider of emergency management and training programs, to help clients integrate communications backup planning into their day to day operations and emergency management procedures, resources and training. Whether it’s a fixed or temporary antenna system, a Private LTE network or a rugged MSP mobile satellite trailer, Cygnus backup communications systems and support will give you peace of mind. You’ll know your data and voice communications will always be there for you, wherever you and your team are.

Cygnus Marine We’re just as at home at sea as on land.

Cygnus Satellite makes it possible for maritime operators to have dependable offshore communications around the clock, in extremes of weather. Australia’s coastline stretches approximately 60,000 kilometres. The nation’s offshore waters are a valuable source of natural resources. They’re also a vital seaway to transport resources to and from land and around the country. Commercial vessels, marine platforms and floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSOs) require high-speed connections to run on-board operations, maintain vessel management and maintenance applications, and to provide crew with internet and VoIP connectivity. Our satellite footprint extends right around the Australian coast, making sophisticated offshore communications clear, reliable and cost-effective. Cygnus provides sophisticated systems and networks that are essential for vessel management, VoIP, broadband and other communications applications, from fixed platforms with stainless steel kitted outdoor mounted antennas to robust, reliable, high performance Sea Tel antenna systems. Sea Tel stabilised antennas can track our satellite in all sea conditions.
