Tunnel Radio of America is pleased to announce the opening of their new eastern regional office, located in Hazard, Kentucky. From this office, Tunnel Radio will position themselves in closer proximity to vital southeastern coal regions and will therefore be more accessible to the mines in terms of sales, service and technical support. While Tunnel Radio has always been a leader in underground wireless communications, the introduction of the new MSHA-approved MineAx 'Bird-Dog' tracking system puts them solidly in front with an integrated system that provides both excellent voice communications and 'state-of-the-art' tracking.
The office, which opened on 10 February 2009, will be staffed by Scott Rose, branch manager; Kelly Massey, sales engineer; and Kolston Green, computer engineer. We’re particularly excited about the addition of Green, a native of the Hazard area, to the Tunnel Radio team. Green brings numerous certifications in the computing field and he has most recently been working in underground mining and therefore also has several industrial mining certifications. His knowledge and expertise in both computers and underground mining will be invaluable as his focus will primarily be on the installation and integration of the MineAx tracking systems in the underground environment.
To celebrate the opening of the new location, Tunnel Radio will host a grand opening at the new office at 490 Village Lane in Hazard, Kentucky on Friday 3 April 2009. The day will include a ribbon cutting and an open house for the public. Anyone from the mining industry is welcome to stop by, say 'hello' and get to know our staff. We also welcome everyone from the community and members of the media. Details about the grand opening will be made available on the company’s website. Tunnel Radio is excited about the opportunities in this region and has already received a warm welcome from the residents of Hazard.
