Tunnel Radio of America

TUNNEL Radio of America will be showing some timely technology at this year’s Longwall USA, as underground mines hit the MSHA deadline to submit communication and tracking plans.

June 15 marks the cut-off for mines to comply with the new guidelines and Tunnel Radio says its two-way communication and tracking systems are all MINER Act-compliant.

“Our MineAx tracking system uses all wireless, battery-powered readers. This provides simple and flexible deployment, meeting the PPL guidelines,” the company said.

Tunnel Radio will be showing its UHF system, which provides 1000-plus feet of coverage underground. The system uses Motorola radios for the technology’s range, clarity and battery life.

Under tracking capabilities, Tunnel Radio will be showing the wireless readers that work alongside its leaky feeder communications backbone. The tracking system includes an instant find feature to allow personnel to search out an individual miner in his or her current location, continuous polling and a tag read range of up to 400ft.

Tunnel Radio has offices in both Oregon and Kentucky
