Critical Technology for Mining Operations in Chile

In northern Chile’s mining heartland, Chemonics and our Chilean partner Acanto are building the digital backbone modern mining operations need to stay connected, protected, and resilient.

Together, we design, deploy, and manage the critical technology that keeps mining operations running smoothly. Our solutions improve reliability, support day-to-day operations, and create long-term value for businesses, government partners, and local communities.

We bring together connectivity, cybersecurity, monitoring, data infrastructure, and on-the-ground support into one integrated solution. Rather than delivering standalone projects, we provide the core and field support that mining operations need to work safely, efficiently, and with greater visibility.

Drawing on decades of experience in some of the world’s most demanding environments, we build solutions that reflect the realities of mining sites. We help ensure critical systems perform reliably where they matter most.


The Operational Challenge

Fragmented infrastructure puts mining continuity at risk

Mining sites often rely on isolated networks, limited visibility, and fragmented security controls. The result is higher operational risk, slower response to incidents, and less control over critical infrastructure.

  • Isolated networks with no integrated core make it more difficult to support and standardize
  • Low operational visibility delays incident response
  • Fragmented OT security increases exposure across critical systems
  • Reactive support models increase downtime risk
  • Lack of standardization makes it harder to scale new capabilities

The Solution

Integrated capabilities for critical mining operations

A single operational layer that combines five critical capabilities: connectivity, edge infrastructure, monitoring, managed services, and OT cybersecurity to help mining operations stay connected, protected, and observable.


How We Operate

One managed platform; three integrated solutions

Combines remote monitoring, specialized engineering, and field support to keep critical mining infrastructure connected, protected, and operational.


Who We Serve

The people at the heart of mining operations

Our technology is designed to support the operations teams and contractors that keep mining sites running.

Mining Contractors

Contractors in maintenance, EPC, drilling, logistics and industrial services need reliable connectivity, secure access, monitoring and support to operate effectively across mining sites.

  • Fast deployment for camps, yards, workshops and field operations
  • Secure connectivity without adding operational complexity
  • Monitoring and support for distributed teams and assets
  • Scalable infrastructure that can grow with the contract or project
Mining Operations

Mining operators need resilient networks, OT cybersecurity, edge infrastructure and managed support to improve visibility, reduce risk and maintain continuity across critical environments.

  • End-to-end support for critical connectivity and OT environments
  • Strong need for resilience, monitoring and operational continuity
  • Secure integration between industrial networks, systems and field teams
  • Managed services to reduce operational burden and improve response
