Active Control Technology announced that the wireless network technology used in ActiveMine, a two-way voice communications, tracking and data system, will be specified by five mining companies in safety plans submitted to West Virginia regulators by today.

ACT has provided multiple proposals for ActiveMine to coal operators owning a total of 62 coal mines. Forty-six of the mines are located in West Virginia, which requires safety plans for all mines in the state. By law, the plans must include specifications for communications and locating systems.

Three of the companies, which together own 38 mines, will name ActiveMine specifically in their mine safety plans, while the other two operators will specify the system's wireless network back-bone - a technology for mine communications and tracking that is available only with ActiveMine. Proposals presented by Active Control to the companies range in value from about $200,000 to approximately $1 million per mine.

"The inclusion of ActiveMine and its wireless technology in so many mine safety plans is a tremendous validation of our system," said ...
