Reliable communications are essential for modern mining and industrial operations, particularly in remote and off-grid environments where traditional networks struggle to deliver consistent coverage. As operations become more mobile, data-driven, and dispersed, the need for flexible, vehicle-mounted connectivity has never been greater.
Red Edge Resources is the supplier of QuipLink, the new Quiptech remote communication node designed specifically for machines and vehicles operating in remote areas and mining environments.
A New Generation of Remote Communication for Mining
QuipLink is a rugged, vehicle-mounted communications node engineered to provide reliable connectivity wherever machines operate. Designed for harsh environments, QuipLink enables mobile assets to stay connected beyond the limits of fixed infrastructure and traditional site networks.
As the supplier of QuipLink, Red Edge Resources ensures the platform is delivered, supported, and positioned to meet the real-world demands of mining and remote industrial operations.
What Is QuipLink?
QuipLink is a compact remote communication node that combines multiple connectivity technologies into a single hardened unit, including:
- Satellite connectivity for remote and off-grid areas
- 4G/5G cellular connectivity for regional coverage
- Wi-Fi for local access by onboard systems and crew devices
This multi-bearer approach allows machines and vehicles to maintain communications even when operating far from site infrastructure.
Designed for Remote Areas and Mining Environments
Mining operations often involve equipment operating across large leases, haul roads, satellite work zones, and temporary sites. QuipLink is purpose-built for these conditions.
Key benefits for mining and remote operations include:
- Connectivity that moves with the machine
- Reduced reliance on fixed towers or nearby vehicles
- Support for dispersed and low-density fleets
- Suitability for exploration, construction, and production phases
QuipLink enables machines to remain connected regardless of location, improving visibility and operational continuity.
Vehicle- and Machine-as-a-Node Architecture
Traditional networks often depend on proximity to infrastructure or other assets. QuipLink uses a vehicle-as-a-node architecture, meaning each machine operates as an independent communications point.
This approach:
- Reduces dependence on fleet density
- Improves resilience and uptime
- Simplifies deployment and scaling
- Minimises single points of failure
For remote mining operations, this independence is a critical advantage.
Supplied by Red Edge Resources
As the supplier of the QuipLink remote communication node, Red Edge Resources provides assurance around product quality, consistency, and suitability for industrial use.
Red Edge’s role includes:

Supporting Modern Mining Systems
Mining operations increasingly rely on:
- Cloud-based fleet and asset management systems
- Remote command and control centres
- Real-time reporting and analytics
- Mobile workforce applications
QuipLink provides a direct communications pathway from machines in the field to these systems, enabling better decision-making and operational visibility even in remote areas.
A Practical Connectivity Solution for Remote Machines
QuipLink represents a shift away from complex, infrastructure-heavy connectivity models toward a simpler, more flexible approach.
By combining satellite, cellular, and Wi-Fi into a single remote communication node, QuipLink delivers:
- Reliable connectivity for machines in remote locations
- Faster deployment compared to traditional networks
- Lower per-asset connectivity costs
- Improved operational resilience
