You asked. We listened and have responded. Introducing BC|MeshMapper, Rajant’s new network performance active survey utility that illustrates how the Kinetic Mesh® connection quality varies by geographic location within a mesh network.
Product Overview
Introducing BC|MeshMapper, Rajant’s new network performance active survey utility that illustrates how the Kinetic Mesh® connection quality varies by geographic location within a mesh network.
This diagnostic tool generates connectivity heat maps to help end users analyze, diagnose, and optimize a Kinetic Mesh® network’s performance. When changes happen in the topology of a network, running BC|MeshMapper immediately and after topology changes will give the network administrator excellent visibility into how well the current infrastructure placements cover the active area with the metrics most important to analyze the health of InstaMesh® links. BC|MeshMapper is now fully integrated in the latest version of Rajant’s network management tool, BC|Commander, which is provided free of charge with every Rajant BreadCrumb®.
How BC | MeshMapper Works
- A mobile BreadCrumb®, paired with a GPS receiver, collects real-time metrics—including signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), peer link cost, and total path cost—as it traverses the deployment area.
- That data generates a connectivity “heat map” in a KMZ file, which can be viewed using tools like Google Earth. Color coding (e.g., green, orange, red) highlights path quality to help administrators understand where performance is optimal or limited.
- Full integration within BC | Commander allows seamless diagnostics—before and after network topology changes—to assess coverage effectiveness and prevent drift.
Visualization & Analysis
The Advantages of Using BC|MeshMapper
BC|MeshMapper assists network designers and administrators by visualizing coverage and connectivity challenges across their site. It automatically generates data files for use with Google Earth to illustrate how the mesh network performs over a traveled route. BC|MeshMapper collects signal strength and InstaMesh® cost data from a designated mobile BreadCrumb® enabled with GPS as it travels throughout the site. It then displays it visually and incorporates all of the Rajant NetCrumbler’s capabilities right inside BC|Commander, except using cost instead of latency.
The color-coded heat maps generated by BC|MeshMapper depicts the paths traveled and assessments of the paths. Colors vary map-to-map due to different thresholds, which are appropriate for various networks and applications. This can be used in roundtrip engineering to validate propagation models and to gauge the Total Path Cost between the mobile device and the gateway device (SlipStream or Gateway router IP address) to the wired network. The maps also contain other pertinent information, such as signal strengths, path costs, and further details about each BreadCrumb® peer along the selected path. All deliverables need to be configurable by the end-user before the run commences.
Example Travel Routes
Below are examples of two travel routes and are for illustration purposes only. In these instances, the colors represent:
- Red = total path cost greater than 20000. or stationary, Condor provides seamless, resilient mesh connectivity even where traditional wireless systems falter.
- Green = total path cost 10000 or under
- Orange = total path cost 10001 and 20000
Key Benefits
| Benefit | What It Delivers |
| Seamlessly integrated diagnostics | Easy access within BC Commander |
| Visualize performance geographically | Heat maps spotlight connectivity strengths and challenges |
| Proactive site optimization | Gauge and adjust infrastructure placement before issues arise |
| Supports mobile, autonomous networks | Ideal for applications involving moving assets and changing topology |
In the end, BC|MeshMapper gives the network administrator yet another weapon in the arsenal against network drift. Monitoring, along with using BC|Enterprise, Rajant’s historical network monitoring tool, provides the administrator with full visibility into the condition of their network health.
