Swift Networks said it had entered into a new three-year agreement with Mineral Resources Limited to service nine of its mines through Swift Access.

The contract has a subscription value of A$3.4 million ($2.1 million) and revenue is expected to begin in the second half of the company’s 2023 fiscal year.

This contract represents ongoing subscription revenue for Swift Access: Swift’s premium entertainment and engagement solutions are powered by its proprietary technology developed for reliable service in low-bandwidth environments, Swift’s native 24-hour support and Other additional channels, Swift said.

In addition to the AU$3.4 million in subscription revenue, installation and upgrades will be performed site-by-site across MinRes’ product portfolio by Swift’s in-house infrastructure team.

Swift’s flagship product, Swift Access, will be installed in more than 2,000 accommodation rooms and common areas. Swift Access will allow employees to cast their favorite streaming apps from their mobile devices directly to their room TVs, while maintaining user privacy and providing smart device setup and management to improve facility staff productivity, Swift Te said. As part of the agreement, Swift Access will provide Mineral Resources employees with Swift’s full library of content, including first-run films and industry-specific mental health and Indigenous educational resources.

Swift Access also allows facility managers to easily upload and distribute field information, such as sensory, health and safety information, and send it more directly to televisions throughout the site.

The entire Swift Access experience is managed by Swift’s unique bandwidth management platform, including three years of support.

Brian Mangano, CEO of Swift, said: “Over the past five years, Mineral Resources and Swift have built a strong partnership based on shared values ​​of innovation and high performance outcomes. Earlier this year, MinRes was the first company in its West Mining companies piloting Swift Access at Camp Wonmunna in Australia (the mine pictured above). This latest collaboration is a natural next step in Swift’s mission to assist MinRes in delivering a great workplace experience.

“We are delighted to partner with Swift and MinRes and look forward to co-creating new innovative solutions to the challenges of the FIFO lifestyle.”
