Underground Mining, Tunneling & Water Industrial Communications Products

But the obstacles become more daunting when you add in the requirement to monitor potentially dangerous atmospheric conditions and provide position tracking for miners as well as equipment. These are stringent requirements where only the best will do.

That’s why over 800 projects turn to Carroll Technologies Group for their integrated underground communication system needs.

Carroll Technologies Group partners with the leading companies like Lockheed Martin, PBE Axell, Becker/Varis, Allen Bradley and others to deliver state-of-the-art communications solutions to the mining industry.

All products delivered by Carroll Technologies Group are backed by 24/7 service and support.

Underground Communications for the Water Industry

Effective communications such as pipeline communications ensure that industrial operations continue to run smoothly, day after day. Without adequate means of communication, workers monitoring pipelines are unable to relay the current status of the pipeline in question which can lead to a myriad of issues. Moreover, with pipelines being predominantly underground, ensuring effective communications between workers is a lot more difficult than the above-ground equivalents. Therefore, the specialist pipeline communications equipment that Carroll Technologies provides is a key element for maximizing the operational efficiency of any industry utilizing pipelines.

Featured Communications Solutions:

MagneLink®

• Self-contained, wireless communications system for two-way voice and text communications
• Network reach to distances in excess of 1500′
• No in-mine infrastructure or cables required
• Contained in an explosion proof enclosure
• Safe to be placed near refuge chambers and mine working areas
• Capable of interfacing with miners’ hand-held emergency radios

Leaky Feeder Radio Communications Systems

• Provide wireless radio communications both above and below the ground
• More resistant to damage and provide better clarity and coverage, hence superior to traditional antennas for mining applications

Our Leaky Feeder Communication Systems from Becker/Varis and the Minecom system distributed in partnership with Pyott-Boone enable mining companies to realize savings and a lower overall cost of ownership through efficient engineering. Customers choose these systems for MSHA communications mandates but as an effective, efficient production tool as well. That’s why we can point to more installed systems in the U.S.A.

Underground Communications

Carroll Technologies Group works in partnership with Pyott-Boone to offer:

• Page Boss pager and underground mining telephones, an economical and reliable option used in mining for years
• Comtrol pager phone system, a system built to exacting standards for the hazardous mining environment with thousands of systems installed globally
• High quality distributed antenna systems (DAS) for mines to enhance and optimise communication channels
• Underground mine radios for increased safety and communication solutions
