Rajant Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh® wireless networks, is pleased to announce the company has been recognized with two Platinum ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards in American Security Today’s 2023 Homeland Security, Public Safety, and Excellence in Homeland Security Awards Program.

The company was recognized for its Leadership and Innovation in 2023, and Rajant’s Cardinal BreadCrumb module was named the “Best Wireless Video Surveillance Network Solution.”

These honors mark the fourth consecutive year Rajant radio nodes have been distinguished for enabling highly mobile IoT applications for public safety and security. American Security Today looks forward to what Rajant will bring forth for 2024.

In 2022, the Rajant Peregrine LTE Won the 2022 Platinum Best Wireless Video Surveillance Network Solution and a New Wireless Product of the Year Award.

The Rajant Hawk was selected as the 2021 Best Wireless Video Surveillance Network Solution, and in 2020, the Rajant ES1 took home the Platinum Best Wireless Network Security Solution.”

Rajant’s 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Award Champion, the dual-radio Cardinal, solves Wi-Fi and LTE limitations for fully mobile M2M communications and is ideal for warehouse automation, robotics, and mission-critical First Responder Communications.

A powerful, lightweight, and notably the smallest within Rajant’s portfolio, the Cardinal solves Wi-Fi and LTE limitations by overcoming the physical and RF obstructions using dual radio M2M communications to extend network range for stable, uninterrupted connectivity required by robotic devices.

“The Cardinal is small, yet very powerful,” explains David Acker, Rajant’s Vice President of Technology.

“The Cardinal extends the range of traditional Wi-Fi past the limitations of fixed infrastructure with no line-of-sight requirements using two transceivers having a combined data rate of 1.73 Gbps.”

“It works seamlessly with existing Wi-Fi network infrastructure, allowing faster and more cost-effective installation and management.”

“And unlike 5G, you do not have to find or pay for a licensed frequency, replace your entire Wi-Fi network, or purchase a costly core to manage the network. The Rajant Cardinal module keeps the network moving with no single point of failure.”

The American Security Today (AST) Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security, Public Safety, and Excellence in Homeland Security Awards Program is specifically designed to honor distinguished government and vendor solutions, like Rajant, that deliver enhanced value, benefit, and intelligence to end users in a variety of government, homeland security, and public safety vertical markets.

“As the nation continues to respond to escalating threats from home and abroad, the innovative solutions being implemented to meet those threats has led to tremendous growth in the field of Homeland Security,” said Michael Madsen, co-founder and publisher of American Security.

Rajant received its two 2023 ASTORS during AST’s exclusive sold-out event amid ISC East in New York City on November 16^th, 2023.

Over two hundred guests gathered to celebrate the award recipients and honor the selfless service of those who stand on the front lines. Together, they provide the capabilities and technologies to create a safer world for future generations.

Present to receive the 2023 ‘ASTORS’ awards were Alice DiSanto, Rajant’s VP of Global Marketing, and Liz Gyuris, Rajant Channel Engagement Manager.

“Rajant was founded on October 19^th, 2001, and the company’s Kinetic Mesh® technology directly correlates to the tragedy of 9/11,” explained Ms. DiSanto.

“Rajant committed then, as we do now, to the idea that it is possible to maintain critical communications under any condition. First responders and frontline workers can depend on Rajant’s industry-leading wireless Kinetic Mesh network to be fully mobile and intelligently adapt to change—instantly and without outside intervention—to keep mission-critical and safety operations moving.”

The pinnacle of the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security and Government Excellence Awards is the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards Ceremony and Banquet Luncheon.

In 2023, this exclusive sold-out event featured at ISC East, well over two hundred representatives of law enforcement, public safety, and industry leaders came together to honor the selfless service of those who stand on the front lines – and those who stand beside them – providing the capabilities and technologies to create a safer world for future generations.

Comprehensive collaborations between these private and public sectors have led to the development of innovative intelligence and technologies that serve to protect our Nation.

Steven Dettelbach, Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) and Explosives, delivered the keynote address at the 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security and Excellence in Public Safety Awards Ceremony and Banquet Luncheon.

Director Dettelbach spoke with passion on the epidemic of Gun Violence by Illegal Guns taking place across the United States, which results in over 125 deaths daily and impacting generations of families – leaving open chairs at holiday events.

Firearm injuries were the leading case of death for children for the third year in a row, he explained, and have doubled in the U.S. since 2021, levels that are simply intolerable.

Director Dettelbach lauded the strong partnerships with Federal, State, Local, and Tribal Policing that ATF has earned and relies upon to reduce violence and spoke with admiration as a former prosecutor on the selfless sense of mission and drive that is universal across the entire First Responder Community.

The prestigious Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program highlights the most cutting-edge and forward-thinking security solutions coming onto the market today to ensure our readers have the information they need to stay ahead of the competition and keep our Nation safe – one facility, street, and city at a time.

The ‘ASTORS’ was specifically designed to honor distinguished government and vendor solutions that deliver enhanced value, benefit, and intelligence to end-users in a variety of government, homeland security, enterprise, and public safety vertical markets.
