Rajant’s kinetic mesh networking technology for mining applications

Technews Industry Guide - Wireless 2014 Data Acquisition & Telemetry Industrial Wireless

Rajant’s kinetic mesh networking technology was designed to operate in the most hostile and harsh environments where it has proven its value for over a decade. Today, Rajant is the standard for reliable, resilient, flexible wireless connectivity in some of largest and most productive mines in the world.

Today’s mines require interconnected wireless networks that allow loader trucks, shovels, pumps, automation & control and other production equipment to communicate with each other in real time. Continuous production and safety mandate unwavering availability – 24x7x365 uptime in all corners of the mine.

The secure BreadCrumb radio nodes can scale to high node densities as the network grows, and bandwidth availability actually increases. They securely interact with a data command centre across a meshed, self-healing network to provide critical, real-time information that touches all aspects of mining operations. The nodes adapt to changes in the network topology, assuring that IP traffic uptime and bandwidth are maximised.
