Frequently Asked Questions

Rajant Kinetic Mesh® is an Intelligent Edge networking technology designed for dynamic, mobile environments where traditional fixed infrastructure falls short. Unlike conventional wireless systems, it enables continuous, adaptive connectivity across moving assets, people, and devices. Powering Industrial AI applications that demand resilience, low latency, and real-time decision-making.

Rajant’s BreadCrumb® nodes are the building blocks of a self-forming, self-healing Kinetic Mesh® network. Each node communicates directly with every other, creating a web of redundant, high-throughput connections that ensure uninterrupted communication, even when conditions change or assets move. This decentralized design eliminates single points of failure, maximizing uptime and mobility.

Conventional point-to-point networks depend on fixed links that can break under motion or interference. Rajant’s InstaMesh® routing protocol dynamically reroutes traffic in real time, automatically choosing the fastest, most reliable path. The result: continuous, mobile, and intelligent connectivity for operations that never stop moving.

For Industrial IoT environments, InstaMesh® provides the low-latency, adaptive communication required to keep machines, sensors, and AI systems synchronized. It delivers instant data exchange, self-healing reliability, and scalable capacity, empowering predictive maintenance, automation, and autonomous decision-making at the edge.

Mining operations depend on remote visibility and control where connectivity is often limited. Rajant’s Kinetic Mesh® delivers real-time communication and video streaming for tele-remote equipment and autonomous vehicles, even underground. Its multi-radio BreadCrumb® nodes maintain reliable signal and low latency. Keeping operators safely in control from any distance.

Traditional WiFi networks are static, fragile, and reliant on centralized infrastructure. Rajant’s Kinetic Mesh® replaces those limits with a dynamic, peer-to-peer architecture, where every node acts as both transmitter and receiver. This ensures continuous, adaptive coverage, ideal for moving assets and mission-critical applications where downtime is not an option.

Tunnels and underground environments are notoriously difficult for wireless communication. Rajant’s BreadCrumb® nodes create a linear, mobile mesh network that maintains signal integrity through long corridors, curves, and obstructions. This allows real-time monitoring, voice, and video for mining, utilities, and public safety teams.

Rajant’s InstaMesh® routing enables machines to communicate directly and continuously, without depending on static access points. This machine-to-machine (M2M) intelligenceensures critical data is shared instantly, fueling automation, robotics coordination, and AI-driven optimization across industrial environments.

Implementation costs vary based on network size, environment, and application. However, Rajant’s decentralized design significantly reduces the need for fixed infrastructure, cabling, or complex configuration. Resulting in a lower total cost of ownership and faster ROI compared to traditional networking systems.

Each BreadCrumb® acts as a multi-radio, multi-frequency transceiver that maintains multiple simultaneous connections. If one path is interrupted, InstaMesh® instantly reroutes data through another, creating always-on resilience that keeps communications live even under extreme conditions.

Rajant eliminates the single points of failure found in traditional networks. Its multi-path, self-healing mesh keeps assets connected, even as they move, ensuring maximum uptime and operational continuity in industries where every second counts.

Rajant’s Intelligent Edge networks power operations across mining, ports, logistics, defense, manufacturing, public safety, agriculture, and energy. Wherever mobile assets, automation, and Industrial AI intersect, Rajant delivers real-time, reliable communication to keep data flowing and decisions immediate.

LTE depends on centralized infrastructure and licensed spectrum, creating latency and coverage limits. Rajant’s Kinetic Mesh® offers a private, infrastructure-free alternative with ultra-low latency, flexible frequency use, and no dependency on towers or carriers. It’s built for mobility, autonomy, and data sovereignty.

Rajant networks are designed for seamless integration. BreadCrumb® nodes connect easily with existing Ethernet, LTE, and satellite systems extending coverage, strengthening resilience, and modernizing legacy networks without disruption.

Rajant primarily sells through our authorized partners and distributors, who bring deep expertise in deploying Intelligent Edge networking solutions across a range of industries.
