Why Industrial Wi-Fi?
Explore the 3 main reasons why factories & warehouses today require industrial-grade wireless, and how Rajant’s mesh solution stands above the rest in enabling Industry 5.0.
As indoor industrial operations become more automated and autonomous, the shortcomings of typical enterprise Wi-Fi become clear. You’re dealing with heavy equipment, variable operating temperatures, mission-critical processes, and fleets of moving assets which require constant network access, no matter where they go. Only an industrial-strength solution can keep up.
While some Wi-Fi solutions claim to be industrial-grade, they still operate from fixed infrastructure, have single points of failure, and rely on line-of-sight. Rajant Kinetic Mesh is different, and stands above the rest to deliver Industrial Wi-Fi mesh with:
Rajant BreadCrumb® nodes form a peer-to-peer network and can hold multiple connections simultaneously, over multiple frequencies. All nodes are equipped with InstaMesh® networking software, which dynamically orchestrates traffic and will instantly redirect packets over the next-best available link if a path becomes blocked. By automatically self-healing, it ensures no data is dropped.
BreadCrumbs are also built to perform reliably in settings with large temperature swings as well as in hazardous locations.
Industrial indoor environments are rife with dense infrastructure and obstructions that can limit wireless range. Rajant’s Kinetic Mesh overcomes this by enabling M2M communications to extend coverage around and between such obstacles. Rajant’s nodes can be deployed onto moving machines and equipment, creating a fully mobile, ubiquitous network that fills in the dead spots of connectivity.
The multi-radio, multi-frequency redundancy of Rajant Kinetic Mesh enables it to deliver ‘never-break’ wireless communications. If a path to a mobile asset becomes unavailable due to signal blockage or interference, it will redirect communications over the next-best available path(s) or frequencies in these redundant links. It does this autonomously, without outside intervention, so there is no lag or drops in coverage experienced by the asset.
The result is a highly flexible, ever-moving mesh of connections, made possible without adding extensive infrastructure.
Don’t let your network slow down your essential operations. Schedule a demo to see how Industrial Wi-Fi, delivered by Kinetic Mesh, can support your real-time applications with mission-critical reliability.
