Kinetic Mesh & InstaMesh Industrial Networking

Our Kinetic Mesh networking technology, powered by patented peer-to-peer InstaMesh software, enables dynamic, self-organizing and self-healing mesh networks with robust fault tolerance, high throughput and low latency.

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.

BreadCrumb® Wireless Network Nodes

Our 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.
