PRODUCT FEATURE

New Ultracomm® Digital Capable
Communication & Tracking Network
 
The Tunnel Radio UltraComm® technology family can now be configured to perform RFID functions as our popular Tunnel Radio MineAx® Tracking system.  With the addition of our MineAx® RFID Expansion Module, UltraComm® series networks can be seamlessly integrated into the Tunnel Radio MineAx® Digital Tracking System.

TR550D
Digital Amplifier with Reader Feature
Integrated with Tunnel Radio TMS system, MineAx® provides a complete technology suite that is Network Compatible and IP ready for today's modern mine.

Built on the proven TR-500B2 technology, the new TR-550D (Digital Capable) amplifier enhances system reliability by adding Automatic Gain Control (AGC). The TR-550D and TR-155D amplifier detects and corrects for system gain imbalances by adjusting the down link and up link gains to correspond to the state of the system.  The result is a robust system with a significantly improved noise floor and requiring less manual amplifier adjustments.

Combining reliable VHF or UHF Ultracomm® systems with RFID reader capabilities and sophisticated system monitoring sets the Tunnel Radio Ultracomm® family of amplifiers apart from other amplifiers in their class.
 
FROM THE FIELD

 "I chose Tunnel Radio for the safety features.  We can always get a hold of people when we need to, which is crucial for reaction time in emergencies" - Sam Spiker, New Elk Coal Mine 
Sam Spiker, mine manager for the New Elk Coal Company of Weston Colorado, initially incorporated Tunnel Radio products for safety reasons.  After trying other systems, Spiker found Tunnel Radio to be the most effective for underground coverage.

Tunnel Radio has secured his business by their reliable service.  "They back up their product, " said Spiker.  "They have consistently good service, and helped us get FCC licensing in a timely manner."

After doing business with the company this past year, Spiker has found new reasons to love Tunnel Radio.  "They help us keep track of what we need and make it easy to order new parts.  They even ship the radios pre-programmed, which makes them even easier to implement."


For Sam Spiker, it is the security of using the most advanced safety features, and the reliability of excellent service that keep him coming back to Tunnel Radio
