“We are honored to be named as an L-3 ACCOLADE distribution partner and to be working with L-3 to provide its quality products and services to our customers,” said Rick Embry, president of Embry Enterprises.
“We feel that the experience we have gained by installing the system for L-3 has given us the insight required to serve the continued needs of the coal mining industry.

Generated under a competitively awarded research and development contract from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to meet the enhanced safety requirements of the 2006 MINER Act, the L-3 ACCOLADE system provides a self-healing, redundant, and survivable voice and data network, allowing communication among miners underground (peer-to-peer) and communication between below- and above-ground personnel. The system also provides a real-time situational awareness capability and can be tailored for mines of all sizes.
The system is approved for use by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the State of West Virginia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and has been deployed to mining companies throughout the United States.
