Caterpillar Dealer Partners with Rajant for Mining & Construction Markets

Rajant has developed an advanced technology that creates portable meshed wireless networks that can rapidly reconfigure and adapt in real-time. These standards-based wireless networks are highly mobile, self-configuring, and self-healing. Rajant has overcome some of the inherent complexities in wireless networking through the development of its BreadCrumb® Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) devices and its InstaMesh® software that runs on each BreadCrumb® device. Each BreadCrumb® can self-heal and auto-adjust to changing network conditions.

In Mining, Military and First Responder applications, BreadCrumbs® excel in highly dense networks (more than 200 access nodes) and in environments where a high number of devices are moving. The unique features, flexibility and functionality of the BreadCrumb® device make it the preferred solution for Mining, Military and First Responder applications requiring the rapid deployment of a standards-based, secure network.
