In the company’s news Friday,
Axcess International Inc. announced it will use its long-range Micro-Wireless IDs on 30 West Virginia mines to allow the mine operators to act in accordance with new safety regulations imposed by the Miner Act of 2006, which requires wireless two-way communications and tracking systems that will allow personnel on the surface to locate persons trapped underground.
Axcess’ technology uses ultra-small, low-cost devices to locally transmit information on assets, personnel and vehicles. In this case, it will be attached to the miners in several ways, including being attached to mining helmets. According to the press release, the company’s miner-tagging solution is embedded into a complete Federal agency-approved system provided by Tunnel Radio of America Inc.
“Tunnel radio has a 20 year heritage in providing reliable industrial wireless solutions,” Mark Rose, president and CEO of Tunnel Radio Inc. stated. “By integrating the Axcess system alongside our backbone solution, we are able to deliver a complete system that complies with the miner safety mandate of the Miner Act and helps save lives.”
Using Axcess’ wireless intelligence, the technology - called Bird Dog – is specifically designed for the mining industry. Bird Dog has received the necessary Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and state of West Virginia approvals for operating in the West Virginia mines.
“We’ve worked to provide complementary personnel tracking to Tunnel Radio’s systems for over a year,” Allan Griebenow, president and CEO of Axcess stated. “Both a robust personnel tracking capability and a hardened communications backbone are needed to provide the proper solution. Helping to provide improved miner safety is a great use for our system.”
The company will showcase its Bird Dog system in Tunnel Radio’s booth at the MINExpo International 2008 trade show at the Las Vegas Convention Center from September 22 through 24.
