Mine Radio Systems, an industry-leading communication and safety solutions provider for the harsh mining environment, has released a free white paper on reliable communications in underground mines.

These incidents triggered the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response (MINER) Act of 2006 in the US. The most important aspect of the MINER Act is providing reliable communication for miners before and after tragic incidents.
