Seamlessly Integrated Wireless for Next-Gen Systems
Autonomy & Robotics
Kinetic Mesh® transforms mobile assets—drones, robots, vessels—into network infrastructure, creating seamlessly integrated, always-on machine-to-machine (M2M) communication that endures even where LTE and Wi‑Fi fail. Multi-frequency BreadCrumb® nodes form peer-to-peer links, delivering fault-tolerant coverage across land, air, and sea for coordinated autonomy and real-time control system.
The ability of Rajant Kinetic Mesh to transform mobile assets into network infrastructure makes it ideal for connecting autonomous vehicles, vessels, robots, and drones – no matter how large or small.

Empowering Autonomy in the Harshest Environments
Whether supporting drone swarms, unmanned ground robots, or maritime platforms, this infrastructure enables robotics to operate in dangerous or remote contexts—realizing full autonomy with never-break reliability. As a result, drone swarms, robots, and unmanned ground vehicles or sea vessels can also communicate peer-to-peer to orchestrate movements, sense locations, and coordinate task execution – all with the fault-tolerant performance needed to ensure their uptime.
DARPA OFFensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics (OFFSET) researchers test swarms of autonomous air and ground vehicles at the Cassidy Combined Arms Collective Training Facility (CACTF) at Fort Campbell in Tennessee. The Cassidy field experiment is the final of six planned experiments for the OFFSET program, which seeks to develop large-scale teams of collaborative autonomous systems capable of supporting ground forces operating in urban environments. Rajant Kinetic Mesh® makes technology like this possible, with air to air, air to ground, and ground to ground connectivity, all swarming together.
Rajant has extended the robust capabilities of InstaMesh® to a smaller, lighter series of BreadCrumbs® that are ideal for deployment on highly mobile autonomous systems and robots. Whether choosing the credit card-sized Cardinal or the ES1, robotics systems are powered by the same reliable and resilient performance in hard-to-network environments as Rajant’s other larger and more ruggedized wireless nodes. From interference-wrought, indoor or outdoor above-ground settings to underground tunnels and even on water, these BreadCrumbs® extend and expand the connectivity range of autonomous systems, allowing them to often roam large geographic areas. Kinetic Mesh® enables fully mobile coverage without the need for infrastructure and can provide the operational coverage autonomous assets need when they are far away from LTE towers or have no line of sight.
What’s more, our BreadCrumbs®’ multi-transceiver redundancy eliminates any single point of failure for mission-critical reliability. Other networks must continually break connectivity as they handoff, and even a momentary loss of communications can cause an autonomous system to shut down for safety reasons. With Rajant, connectivity never breaks, so autonomous operations run without stopping.
