The Telfer gold-copper mines are in the Great Sandy desert in the East Pilbara region of WA, 400 kilometres east-south–east of Port Hedland. Telfer comprises the Main Dome and West Dome open pits and the Telfer underground mine.
Lightspeed Communications was involved with the termination of many of the optic fibre cables that create the 36 core single mode cable ring, which the entire site runs on.
Lightspeed have been doing ongoing maintenance at Telfer since 2004 and emergency call outs when required.
