Two underground coal mines in Kentucky will be upgrading to the new ActiveMine communication system, which links the underground workspace with the outside world via wireless Wi-Fi telephones and a special tracking system. Active Control Technology, the creator of ActiveMine, says that the first system will be installed in May, with a second system going in later this year. All together, there will be 53 ActiveMine nodes in the two underground areas.

The name of the coal mining company hasn’t been disclosed.

“We’re delighted that ActiveMine will become a key tool for our new customer in fulfilling its commitments to employee safety and business productivity,” said Steve Barrett, President and CEO, Active Control. “We look forward to helping customers to safeguard employees and get the most out of their mines.”

According to Active Control, the deployment of the systems is subject to MSHA approval for the wireless Wi-Fi phones, which is expected soon.
