Rajant, the developer of the Kinetic Mesh networking technologies, BreadCrumb wireless nodes, and InstaMesh networking software, has partnered with Unmanned Systems Technology (“UST”) to demonstrate their expertise in this field. The ‘Platinum’ profile highlights how their technologies can provide a low-latency, high-throughput, and secure solution for a variety of data, voice, video, and autonomous applications.

Kinetic Mesh networkRajant’s Kinetic Mesh networking technology, powered by patented peer-to-peer InstaMesh software, enables dynamic, self-healing and self-organizing mesh networks with robust fault tolerance, high throughput and low latency. BreadCrumb wireless network nodes can communicate with any Wi-Fi or Ethernet-connected device to deliver low-latency, high-throughput data, voice and video across self-healing mesh networks.

InstaMesh rapidly responds to changes in network topology and dynamically optimizes performance in real time as nodes are added or removed, frequencies are opened or blocked, or assets are moved over large areas. Unlike traditional mesh technologies, every node, whether fixed, wireless, or mobile, can act independently, providing no single point of failure. Nodes can seamlessly switch between available radio frequencies based on best-path analysis at the node level.

Peregrine industrial wireless mesh networkPeregrine is a high-performance industrial-grade wireless Kinetic Mesh mobile networking node, featuring quad MIMO transceivers and an aggregated data rate of up to 2.3Gbps. Designed to provide highly flexible mobile connectivity for edge robotics, it is ideal for a wide range of applications including video and LiDAR processing, artificial intelligence and machine learning. The Peregrine BreadCrumb is designed to perform flawlessly in various environments and integrate seamlessly with all Rajant BreadCrumb models to form a complete solution.

Peregrine can operate on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz as well as military, licensed, public service, and other proprietary radio frequencies. With up to 256-QAM modulation and 80 MHz channels, it supports a range of advanced encryption options including data and MAC-address encryption, and per-hop, per-packet authentication.

Rajant hAWK Industrial mesh networkHawk is a high-performance industrial-grade wireless Kinetic Mesh mobile networking node, featuring dual MIMO transceivers and an aggregated data rate of up to 2.3Gbps. Designed for secure applications that integrate data from connected robotics and sensors with advanced machine learning capabilities, it is ideal for a wide range of markets including defense, public safety, construction, mining and more.

Hawk can operate on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz as well as military, licensed, public service, and other proprietary radio frequencies. With up to 256-QAM modulation and 80 MHz channels, it supports a range of advanced encryption options including data and MAC-address encryption, and per-hop, per-packet authentication.

ES1 Breadcrumb IoT wireless network deviceThe ES1 is a compact, lightweight wireless mesh networking node designed for autonomous vehicles and robotics operating in less ruggedized environments yet still facing challenging network conditions. With an IP67-rated enclosure, it provides Ethernet and Wi-Fi access point interfaces for data, voice, and video transfer, with a variety of mounting options.

ES1 BreadCrumbs are designed to perform flawlessly in a variety of environments, such as Oil & Gas, and integrate seamlessly with all Rajant BreadCrumb models to form a complete solution. The ES1 features self-configuring operation for fast, easy deployment, and provides compatibility with a vast range of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) IP devices such as laptops, tablets, smart phones, IP cameras and sensors. It can operate on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, and supports a range of advanced encryption options including data and MAC-address encryption, and per-hop, per-packet authentication.

Private wireless networksWeighing in at just 123g, the DX2 is Rajant’s smallest and lightest BreadCrumb wireless mesh networking node. Encased in magnesium, its extremely low SWaP (size, weight and power) footprint allows it to be deployed almost anywhere and makes it ideal for drone swarms and small autonomous vehicles.

The single-transceiver, dual-antenna MIMO system is available in 2.4GHz or 5GHz versions, and provides scalability to networks of hundreds of mobile, high-bandwidth nodes. It offers compatibility with a vast range of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) IP devices, and features a range of advanced encryption options including data and MAC-address encryption, and per-hop, per-packet authentication.
