Connecting Geraldton and Port Hedland.
Vocus will deploy a 2000km high-capacity fibre link between Geraldton and Port Hedland in Western Australia by the end of next year.
Codenamed ‘Project Horizon’, it is designed to provide a “missing link … between Port Hedland, where [Vocus’] North West Cable System from Darwin lands, and Geraldton, where [the company’s] terrestrial network ends,” chief operating officer Ellie Sweeney told the
CommsDay Summit in Sydney.
“The first stage of this program of work is now underway,” she said.
“Project Horizon has been part of our long-term network extension plans for several years, and the high-level design work has already been completed.

Intends to transform site operations by the end of the year.
Newmont has started production use of an autonomous haul truck fleet at its Boddington gold and copper mine in Western Australia.
The miner said in a statement that it had hit a milestone in the deployment “with the first production delivered”, and produced a brief video showing the driverless trucks operating in the pit.
“Achieving first production from our autonomous fleet is an important step in the full deployment of the fleet,” Newmont Australia’s regional senior vice president Alex Bates said.
“It is a testament to the enthusiasm and professionalism of our team that we have achieved this first milestone safely.”
