Foxtel’s Business iQ product enables mine sites to promote downtime activities using the TV screens in workforce accommodation rooms. The on-screen messaging service can be used to flash up a message while workers are watching TV in their room to let them know what sporting fixtures will be shown in the wet mess, or alternatively, they can upload the wet mess schedule to the information tab on the Business iQ interface.

Often though, workers will want to relax in their room after their day on site and having access to a huge range of premium channels, from entertainment to documentaries to movies, means there’s something to suit every taste. Plus with on-demand access to a huge library containing over 20,000 hours of content and the ability to cast their own streaming apps, they’ll never be stuck for something to watch.
