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") underground 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 CanaryTalk 1000 mine and tunnel radios use 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.  CanaryTalk can provide an emergency warning system which uniquely provides two-way communications between surface and underground.  The radio equipment is provided with standard audio and data interfaces, allowing it to be connected to a wide variety of communications devices such as sensors and RFID tags.   Vital Alert's system can be used with RFID readers to track assets and people in challenging underground environments, and for sensor monitoring of various conditions such as heat and pressure.
