After recent demonstration, in the frame of Nanoelec, of a new, wireless system that offers increased safety, flexibility and productivity gains to the blasting market, CEA-Leti and Davey Bickford Enaex have extended their joint laboratory for three years to continue development of innovative radio-frequency communication systems that remotely control networks of high-tech wireless electronic detonators. The common lab will build on the partners’ recent success in developing an electronic initiation system without using surface wire that offers increased safety, flexibility and productivity to the blasting market. Like the earlier partnership, the ongoing work will take place in the frame of Nanoelec. Read more here.
