| ActiveMine technology for surface mining operations Active Control Technology announced that ActiveMine, a 100% wireless two-way voice communications and tracking system for underground miners, is available for hard rock and surface mining operations. ActiveMine is the fully-integrated, 100% wireless communications and locating technology for underground mines. The system is designed to improve underground mining safety and enhance operating efficiencies through wireless, real-time electronic tracking of personnel and equipment, and robust two-way voice communications with each miner. The system's wireless 'full-duplex' voice quality is crystal clear - an achievement given the 'multiple hops' between nodes required for ActiveMine's 100% wireless mesh network. All of ActiveMine's nodes, clients/handsets and network are wireless, this makes ActiveMine easy to install and extend as the mine face advances while reducing maintenance costs arising from the frequent mechanical damage suffered by current hard-wired mine communication networks. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
