Mining and Geological File Transfer

Deploy the MASV Desktop App and headless agent across hundreds of remote field laptops, drone docks, and survey teams without per-user license penalties.

‍

Combine multiple sources (like satellite, 5G, and Ethernet) into an accelerated, more resilient pipe to guarantee fast transfers from remote exploration sites.

‍

Preserve network isolation with outbound-only HTTPS (port 443) file transport, keeping sensitive data locked down without opening infrastructure to inbound threats.

‍

Every hour of delayed data is an hour of delayed decisions – and in mining, that cost compounds fast.

‍

Remote mines generate enormous volumes of operational data, from drill hole logs and high-res GIS surveys to autonomous fleet telemetry. But getting accurate geological data into centralized storage for real-time data analysis is a persistent bottleneck in modern mining operations:

‍

Exploration and spatial datasets routinely reach hundreds of GBs, often overwhelming limited network connections.
Mine sites depend on unstable satellite or cellular links plagued by high latency, throttling, and frequent drops.
Every hour of delay is an hour lost for drilling schedule decisions, safety assessments, maintenance planning, and data accuracy QA.
Physical data movement by shipping transfer devices introduces security vulnerabilities, chain-of-custody gaps, and operational lag.

MASV: The reliable bridge connecting remote mine sites to cloud and on-prem systems.

‍

When operations run 24/7 and decisions depend on real-time data points, slow or failed file transfers are an operational liability. MASV's high-speed, reliable large file transfer gives field teams a browser-based, drag-and-drop upload portal that connects directly to existing cloud or on-prem systems:

‍

Move massive geological surveys, stratigraphic data, and drill logs at maximum speed without bandwidth bottlenecks or file package size limits.
Never lose progress on a critical transfer: Automatic infinite retries resume from the exact point of failure if connections drop.
Eliminate manual handoffs: Field data flows straight from remote geological projects into your storage infrastructure the moment it's captured, reducing human error.
Keep exploration intelligence locked down with built-in enterprise-grade security including ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and in-flight and at-rest encryption.

Transfer seismic interpretation files and high resolution images from remote drill sites to shared storage without package size limits or corruption.

‍

Deliver high-res drone orthomosaics and volumetric surveys from active workings to engineering teams without babysitting unreliable uploads.

‍

Push geophysical data sets, borehole logs, and hyperspectral imagery from remote camps using infinite auto-retry, so no transfer has to be restarted manually.

‍

Share large-scale mine design files, ventilation models, and blast simulation data between pit, plant, and the office automatically.

‍

Send a browser-based Portal link to on-site crews so they can upload operational data into a browser-based, drag-and-drop upload hub.

Maintain a secure, auditable pipeline for as-built documentation to meet regulatory and contractual obligations.

‍

Don't let massive field datasets and unreliable connections derail your operations. Use MASV to handle the heavy lifting for drill logs, GIS surveys, drone imagery, and everything else your sites generate:

Configure: MASV Portals can be set up to send content to practically any destination, with all content automatically landing where it’s intended. MASV offers 30+ native cloud and on-prem integrations, or set up custom cloud or on-prem integrations via the API.
Collect: Field sensors, LiDAR scanners, drones, autonomous vehicles, and other sources capture high-density survey and other mining data at the site.
Upload: Watch Folders automatically upload captured datasets to your MASV Portal(s); a global network of 750+ edge nodes and Multiconnect channel bonding accelerates transport over one or multiple networks, even in unreliable network conditions.
Ingest: MASV automatically ingests data into preconfigured cloud or on-prem destinations, calculating block-level SHA-256 checksums to maintain data integrity and auto-retrying from the point of failure in case of interruption.
Deliver: Encrypted payloads land directly in your cloud or on-premises storage or system of choice.
Process and act: Data feeds directly into Snowflake, Databricks, AWS SageMaker, or mining analytics platforms.

Drive time to value and move terabyte-scale seismic datasets and LiDAR point clouds in minutes.
MASV saturates your available bandwidth, bypassing the congested public internet.
Massive geophysical and geographic information systems (GIS) files are split into encrypted segments and sent simultaneously over multiple streams, maximizing throughput.

‍

MASV Multiconnect bonds multiple connectivity sources (like satellite, 5G, LTE, and site Wi-Fi) simultaneously into a single, faster, more resilient pipeline.
If one connection drops, the others keep your transfer moving without failed uploads, restarting from scratch, or lost progress on a multi-gigabyte (or terabyte) transfer.

‍

MASV automatically resumes interrupted transfers from the exact point of failure – infinitely – until the package is delivered.
Field teams can walk away confident their data will arrive, even in the most isolated environments, without wasting time transfer hand-holding.

‍

Use Watch Folders to automatically upload data to one or multiple destinations the moment it's captured by autonomous equipment, survey instruments, and other field tools.
Route drill logs, drone imagery, and geophysical exports directly to specific folders in your cloud or on-prem storage environment using metadata, without any manual handoffs.

‍

Give contractors, drilling companies, and third-party consultants a browser-based, drag-and-drop upload link.
Field crews drag and drop datasets directly in their browser and get back to work, with no MASV account, training, or software installation required.
Handles all GIS, mining, geology, and earth science file formats; file restrictions allow admins to limit uploads to certain file types.

‍

MASV connects directly to the cloud and on-prem storage platforms your operation already runs on, from Amazon S3, Azure, OneDrive, and SharePoint to Synology, QNAP, and more.
Immediately deploy native integrations or set up custom integrations using the MASV API and Agent.
Receive Slack notifications the moment field data lands in storage and is ready for processing and analysis.

Feature	MASV	Generic Cloud Sharing: Dropbox, WeTransfer	Traditional Methods: Legacy Managed File Transfer, FTP	Physical Media: Hard Drives, USB
Primary Strength	Large file delivery with speed and reliability for moving 100GB+ drill logs, GIS surveys, seismic datasets, and drone imagery from remote sites to central storage.	Everyday file sharing. Best for lightweight documents and small files.	IT-controlled file movement. Best for governed enterprise transfer workflows in stable network environments.	Last-resort data transport when no reliable network exists. Best for absolute offline scenarios.
Built for Massive Mining Datasets	Yes. Designed for multi-gigabyte and terabyte-scale transfers of geophysical, spatial, and operational data.	Limited. Large datasets frequently hit speed, browser, or storage constraints.	Can move large files, but setup and performance are rarely optimized for remote field environments or mining-scale data volumes.	Can move any file size, but introduces days of lag and serious chain-of-custody risk.
Reliability in Remote Environments	99.9% uptime. Infinite auto-retry resumes from the exact point of failure. Multiconnect bonds satellite, 5G, and LTE simultaneously for a more resilient pipeline from isolated sites.	Failed large uploads often require manual intervention. No auto-resume or channel bonding.	Reliable when configured correctly, but prone to firewall failures and connectivity issues in remote environments, often requiring IT reconfiguration.	Vulnerable to physical loss, damage, and theft in harsh field conditions.
Data Integrity	Verified delivery: checksums confirm what arrives matches exactly what was sent.	Fine for small files, but large uploads are more prone to interruption or incomplete transfer.	Can move files intact, but offers limited protection against failed manual workflows or incomplete handoffs.	High risk of data loss or corruption from physical damage, environmental exposure, or mishandling.
Ease of Use	Web-based, drag-and-drop simplicity. Field crews upload through a browser link with no software installs, accounts, or training required.	Easy for basic sharing, but unreliable at scale and in low-bandwidth environments.	IT-heavy: Requires managed accounts, provisioning, and considerable technical support to maintain.	Simple to execute, but operationally slow and logistically complex across remote, multi-site operations.
Security & Compliance	ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, TLS 1.2+ in-flight and AES-256 at-rest encryption, SSO, MFA, and transfer expiry controls.	Basic encryption. Limited access controls. Not designed for sensitive exploration data.	Strong compliance controls when properly configured, but dependent on ongoing IT management.	Highly vulnerable. Lost or stolen drives expose critical exploration intelligence with no recovery options.
Best use case	High-volume transfer of mining and geoscience data from remote sites to cloud or on-prem storage – fast, automated, and without manual intervention, even in low connectivity.	Quick sharing of small, non-sensitive files with broad teams.	Compliance-driven enterprise transfer managed by IT in stable network conditions.	Absolute last resort when no network connectivity is available.
