Vital Alert

Leaders in Underground Communications™


Vital Alert holds the exclusive global license for mining and urban applications on the patent held by Los Alamos National Security, LLC, for wireless through-the-earth (“TTE”) communications.  The company provides very low frequency (“VLF”) TTE communications in hard-to-service areas such as mines, subways, pipelines, and tunnels where obstructions like rock, concrete, and metal are common, typically for less than half the cost of alternatives such as leaky feeder systems. 

Vital Alert’s Canary™Talk Through-The-Earth Communications System uses advanced digital communications techniques and ultra-low frequency transmission to wirelessly provide reliable 2-way voice, text,  or data links through rock strata and other solid media.  The radio equipment is provided with standard audio and data interfaces, allowing it to be connected to a wide variety of communications devices.

We welcome inquiries from interested potential customers, governmental organizations, potential partners, or sales channels.   For sales and partnerships, please contact Ann Hueter at ann.hueter@vitalalert.com, or 505-991-5593.  For all other inquiries, please contact Heather Simmons at heather.simmons@vitalalert.com, or 416-399-7396.
