Emergency links: NIST identifies 'sweet spot' for radios in tunn...

(National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)) Researchers at NIST have confirmed that underground tunnels -- generally a difficult setting for radios -- can have a frequency "sweet spot" at which signals may travel several times farther than at other frequencies.

The finding may point to strategies for enhancing rescue communications in subways and mines.
