Ruby Falls installs wireless Internet for cave visitors

Don't bump into that stalagmite while you're Facebooking.
Ruby Falls is installing Wi-Fi so visitors to the cave can stay connected on 
their underground trip to the waterfall.
At 1,120 feet underneath Lookout Mountain, the attraction says it's the deepest 
Internet access available inside a commercial cave anywhere, and a first for 
Chattanooga.
Visitors will be able to share their memories with loved ones in real-time. 
Staff will be able to use the wireless Internet to enhance safety in the cave, 
with 13 security cameras and 10 phones now installed, Ruby Falls said in a news 
release.
The attraction says it partnered with EPB and InfoSystems to make the 
installation possible without detracting from the natural elements of the cave.
