No cell towers. No fibre. No problem. Galaxy Broadband SmartSite™ delivers off-grid internet solutions by combining enterprise satellite, LTE/5G, microwave and on-site networking into one fully managed platform—keeping remote sites, work camps and critical operations securely connected across Canada.
Remote mines, work camps and emergency sites often sit far beyond traditional infrastructure. Cell coverage is inconsistent or non-existent. Fibre may be years away, if it ever arrives.
In these conditions, consumer hotspots and single satellite links quickly fall apart under enterprise workloads:
Every outage creates risk: delayed decisions, production slowdowns, compliance issues and potential harm to people or the environment. SmartSite closes this gap with purpose-built remote site connectivity designed for off-grid operations.
SmartSite is Galaxy Broadband’s turnkey, fully managed connectivity platform for off-grid and remote locations. It combines enterprise satellite, LTE/5G, microwave and on-site networking into one service that keeps your sites online wherever the work is.
Think of it as a utility, not a product. You don’t worry about how electricity gets to the switch—you just flip it on. With SmartSite, Galaxy designs, deploys and operates the entire network lifecycle so your team can focus on running the site, not running the network.
If you rely on consumer-grade tools for industrial-grade projects, you’re taking unnecessary risks. Poor or inconsistent internet affects every part of a remote operation.
Slow or unstable connections mean CAD drawings, geological surveys, drone footage and compliance reports take hours to move. Highly skilled staff end up watching progress bars instead of working.
In remote sectors, safety is non-negotiable. Delayed alarms, grainy video feeds or gaps in real-time logs put workers and assets at risk. You need connectivity that supports low-latency telemetry, clear voice and reliable access to safety systems.
Head office needs to know what’s happening on the ground. Without trusted remote site connectivity, you lose real-time access to SCADA systems, IoT sensors and operational KPIs. Instead of preventing problems, you find out only after they’ve escalated.
SmartSite solves these challenges by combining robust transport with expert network management for remote locations, so your team can focus on production, not troubleshooting.
We take the complexity out of the equation. Here’s how Galaxy Broadband SmartSite delivers resilient, always-on connectivity.
SmartSite never relies on a single link. It bonds LEO and GEO satellite with LTE/5G and microwave where available. If one path drops or degrades, traffic automatically shifts to the next best route, delivering resilient off-grid internet solutions for any remote site.
SmartSite’s network management for remote locations is handled from Galaxy’s Canadian NOCs in Mississauga and Edmonton. We monitor your environment 24/7, troubleshoot issues before they impact users, push firmware and security updates, and provide clear reporting on uptime and usage.
Once bandwidth reaches site, SmartSite distributes it with enterprise-grade Wi-Fi and on-site VoIP. Offices, plants, yards and camps all share reliable coverage, supporting both corporate traffic and remote camp internet so crews stay productive and connected.
Fortinet-secured firewalls and segmentation protect remote locations from external attacks and internal misuse. Smart QoS policies prioritize safety systems, SCADA, financial traffic and real-time sensors,so mission-critical applications always get the bandwidth they need first.
