Summary:

The objective of this project was to develop, design, and build a system prototype to demonstrate the practicality of two-way, wireless through-the-earth communications between the interior of a mine and the surface. The system was to communicate data for process and environment monitoring and control, and provide real-time voice communication for emergency situations and for daily operations use. Transmitters and receivers were designed, built, and tested in actual mines. A wireless in-mine communications system was also developed. The feasibility of the concept and the marketability of the product were successfully demonstrated. Additional work must be done to make the product suitable for, and marketable to, the coal mining industry.
