Bashir Chalabi Symboticware - MICA Funding Announcement

Bashir Chalabi, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Symboticware, discusses enhancing mining operations through improved connectivity. He highlights the disparity between mine locations and high-bandwidth connectivity availability across North America, emphasizing that many mines, particularly in Northern Ontario and remote regions, need more internet service, which is crucial for modern mining technologies. Symboticware's project focuses on integrating satellite-to-cell technology to enable high-bandwidth connections directly to standard mobile devices, reducing reliance on expensive infrastructure. This technology aims to democratize digital transformation in mining by providing cost-effective, scalable solutions that enhance operational efficiency, safety, and environmental management.
This presentation was made on June 24, 2024, at the Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator (MICA) funding announcement event at MaRs Discovery District in Toronto.
