With a plethora of amazing technologies shaping our world these days, it’s odd to find a company boss whose main IT deficit is basic bandwidth. A lack of connectivity prevents drilling and exploration company Rosond from making better use of all the data it’s gathering from its machinery, says its new CEO Glen McGavigan.

“We’re drilling in remote areas, 50km or 60km away from any cellular coverage, so we need an alternative,” he says. “The key for us is how we’re going to get satellitebased connectivity, which will alleviate a lot of our challenges.”
