Trailblazer® MineConnect

Wireless Link for Industrial Phone and Intercom Systems

Mining customers in British Columbia came to us with a need for a wireless link that could connect numerous industrial and emergency phone products, such as GAI-Tronics' Femco and Guardian phones.

The result: Trailblazer® MineConnect, a rugged, high-performance microwave radio that eliminates the need for wirelines in challenging aboveground and underground mining and industrial applications.

The MineConnect offers a reliable, easy and affordable way to install and relocate of phones in rough terrain and harsh environments.

Operating in the 2.4 and 5.x GHz bands, MineConnect is available in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations and has a range beyond 40 miles.
