• Description:
  It is generally accepted in the mining sector that Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules will ensure that installed communication systems will operate interference free. However, that's not generally the case, as the FCC imposes few restrictions on the operation of wireless equipment in mines and tunnels. This paper will clarify the rules and regulations related to the operation of wireless equipment at underground mines and discuss the responsibilities and liabilities of mine operators for use of various classes of wireless equipment.
