About ActiveMine
The ActiveMine communications, data and tracking system enables monitoring of production, personnel and equipment in all types of surface and underground mining environments, including coal and base metal mines. The system is designed to:
- Provide full duplex clear voice communications and tracking in one system.
- Be easily expanded with "plug & play" installation as a mine grows.
- Easily add other applications like machinery monitoring, belt monitoring, CO monitoring and streaming video.
- Operate on a 100 percent wireless Wi-Fi network backhaul capable of transmitting high speed data and voice communications.
- Be less susceptible to water and mechanical damage of all sorts, including rock fall.
- Use open-standards technology and support other Wi-Fi devices.
- Meet federal MINER Act requirements for wireless systems.
- Enable miners who become isolated underground to stay linked, even when they are distant from one another and cut off from the outside world - a capability made possible by the system's unique "Starfish(TM)" feature.
- Provide a wireless communications and data network above-ground, linked seamlessly to underground networks.
