>Mine Site Technologies has licensed communication technology which 
>will enable Personal Emergency Devices (PEDS) to be bi-directional, 
>allowing miners across the world to communicate from underground in 
>the event of a mining disaster, for the first time. The technology, 
>based on magnetic fields, operates at audio frequencies which can 
>easily penetrate rock. CSIRO developed the technology with the
