Veteran climber and Everest veteran Eric Simonson lead a team of high altitude mountaineers up Mount Everest's North Ridge in a search of evidence of English climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, who disappeared in 1924 just 900 feet below the summit.

Simonson's team chose the MVS USA MiniSat Telephone to maintain voice and data communications with The Mountain Zone and press to report their historic discovery. See MVS USA Products for more information about the equipment used.
