Leaky Feeder Equipment

The benefits and payback of a Leaky Feeder underground communication network include:

• Improved Emergency/Production/Breakdown response and coordination
• More timely reporting of production numbers (or automated reporting/tracking)
• Enables "Man Alone" work planning in some jurisdictions
• Remote monitoring by video and/or data of underground equipment
• Remote or automatic control of underground equipment to save energy costs

Realize safety and production improvements with a mine-wide communication and automation network. Easily expanded and maintained, Varis uses a single cable to distribute wired and wireless Voice, Video and Data signals to your underground work force and equipment.

Varis has the greatest channel capacity of any competing Leaky Feeder system. This means no expensive roadblocks to expanding the number of simultaneous data applications running on the system.

Video comes for free with Varis, built-into every component!

Varis can also be used to repair or extend most existing Leaky Feeder systems including Flexcomm, Multicom, Tunnel Radio and DAC RFM. Save money on equipment, service and repairs with Varis' advantages:

• 500 meter (1625 feet) amplifier spacing reduces costs by up to 50%
• Local and Remote Diagnostics to improve uptime and decrease maintenance costs
• 30 MHz bandwidth and the power to support 17 simultaneous voice/data channels
• solid foam cable prevents water damage and "shorts"
• 36 VDC line voltage significantly reduces installation and expansion costs
• 2-Year Unlimited Warranty on all network components
