Strata Worldwide is pleased to announce that the StrataConnect™ second-generation miner communicator (MC2) is now available for sale.
MC2 is an update to the industry-leading StrataConnect™ wireless system for underground communication, tracking, remote monitoring and control
The MC2 communication and tracking device operates on the underground StrataConnect™ wireless mesh network, formally known as Strata CommTrac.
Designed specifically for the harsh environments in the mining and tunneling industries, the Strata MC2 provides two-way text communications, real-time personnel location tracking and both critical alerts and response functions for workers.
