Making a Positive Impact At R-Group, we believe that every little bit counts when it comes to protecting th
R-Group’s new Android-based Village Entertainment Solution
The latest version of our Village Entertainment platform, developed by R-Group for Android is now being rolled out to our trusted Mining Customers.
The new solution presents a modernised design interface alongside upgraded cloud-based backend technology. Enabling extensive customisation, the platform presents a wide array of features accessible to on-site staff.
In Australia, FIFO and DIDO workers frequently spend prolonged periods away from their families, often labouring in an isolated environment. This often leads to heightened levels of emotional strain. Extensive evidence underscores the significance of granting FIFO and DIDO workers the ability to access entertainment and communication services. These services not only foster their personal well-being but also serve as a source of support for their families at home. Our solution aspires to fulfill this imperative.
Drawing from over two decades of experience as a solutions provider in the Mining Industry, we recognise and understand the vital components that underlie effective remote accommodation connectivity. This encompasses ensuring the dependability and consistency of positive user encounters with our platform, as well as the ease of connecting with loved ones back home.
Our Village Entertainment System provides onsite personnel access to several great features including:
TV and Foxtel Services
Provide your onsite Personnel with Free-to-Air TV and radio services. For customers using a Foxtel service, this can also be directly integrated into the system.
Wellbeing Feature
Our system educates and promotes a broad range of support options that are relevant and accessible to FIFO workers. We can deploy this along with site-specific well-being services.
R-Group has partnered with various health and wellness providers in Western Australia, collaborating to offer complimentary well-being resources. These include R U OK?, Beyond Blue, and Relationships Australia WA. These resources enable your on-site staff to conveniently access information regarding concerns such as anxiety, stress, and other mental health challenges commonly encountered by employees.
Casting Feature
As experiences continue to evolve and residents crave the convenience of home, our Village Entertainment solution now provides seamless access to a user’s own streaming service. This is done through easy-to-use casting. The features built into the system ensure that you maximise resident satisfaction outside of their working hours onsite.
The system offers a simple ‘Scan and go’ casting feature using QR codes. Once connected, users can access the Internet through personal Wi-Fi-enabled devices and cast their personal entertainment services to the TV.
Customisable Options
You can fully customise the system, allowing you to integrate your branding and site-specific information directly into it. As well as integration of external live data sources, and options for two-way interactivity. Innovative deployments include welfare checks, site inductions, automated lightning alerts, and food ordering.
Redundancy Options
With the optional deployment of our on-site Local Content Server, customers have the peace of mind that the Village Entertainment System will remain operational afterwards in the event of an Internet or cloud outage.
Whether it’s a small exploration camp or a large mining village we have a proven track record in deployments. To learn more about our Village Entertainment solution and how it can improve your onsite personnel wellbeing, please reach out to our Sales Team at [email protected].
