Some of Our Projects

John Dee Warwick
"Channel WIreless delivered city grade Internet to John Dee at an extremely reasonable price in mid 2020. It is ten times faster than the previous available internet. Due to our location, we had significant difficulty sourcing a reliable commercial grade internet connection at a reasonable price. We were quoted up to twenty times the installation cost and twice the annual costs for 20% of the Channel Wireless delivered performance. The installation was very professional, and the reliability of the service has been excellent. Support, when needed, has been first class. Our ability to access cloud based service offerings and utilise video based training and internal communication has substantially improved our company overall, and is a key component of the major digital transformation project undertaken during 2020 and 2021. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Channel Wireless based on our experience.”

Bluff Village Workers Accommodation
Bluff Workers Camp, owned and operated by Minumbra, serves as a remote accommodation site for mine workers. Channel Wireless undertook the construction of a fiber optic network to the site. Subsequently, Channel Wireless installed fixed wireless connections in each donga, implementing a localised WiFi solution with WiFi access available in each room. The end result is an impressive internet speed of up to 1Gbps for each user, dramatically transforming communication capabilities for workers. This enhancement facilitates seamless connections with loved ones, family, and instantaneous access to work systems, ultimately contributing to improved productivity.
Channel Wireless has not only brought state-of-the-art connectivity to Bluff Workers Camp but has also revolutionised the overall communication experience for its residents. The fiber optic network serves as a robust backbone, while the fixed wireless installations ensure reliable and high-speed access for individual users. This transformation underscores the commitment of Channel Wireless to delivering cutting-edge solutions that significantly impact remote work environments.
By integrating modern technology into the camp's infrastructure, Channel Wireless has played a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for workers at Bluff Workers Camp. The implementation of high-speed internet not only strengthens connections with families but also provides immediate access to work-related systems and infrastructure, fostering an environment conducive to heightened productivity and well-being.
