Rajant Corporation, the inventor of Kinetic Mesh® wireless networks, is the recipient of a Platinum 2021 American Security Today ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Award for Rajant’s Hawk BreadCrumb® as the “Best Wireless Video Surveillance Network”.
First responders, emergency response teams, and other public safety personnel have many critical needs to worry about: reliable communications should not be one of them.
Unfortunately, they are often dealing with an array of different communications mechanisms, each used for various tasks. Disintegration causes gaps in coverage and fragments much-needed visibility into incidents and events.
Rajant’s Kinetic Mesh® fills those networks.
Rajant Kinetic Mesh® networks provide fully mobile broadband connectivity that is simple, instantaneous, and fail-proof in any application – giving you a resilient mesh network solution that moves and evolves with your connectivity demands.
The Rajant Hawk offers high-capacity throughput for the real-time insights, like video, that public safety and industrial security rely upon.
With enhanced security options, a Hawk network can scale to hundreds of mobile, high-throughput autonomous nodes to supply the bandwidth required for mission-critical data, voice, and video applications.
With rugged enclosures and environmentally sealed, the Hawk is Rajant’s premier BreadCrumb solution and part of Rajant’s initiative to develop deeply integrated solutions that securely combine data from connected people, vehicles, machines, and sensors, with machine learning.
Hawk is optimized for mobility and contains two transceivers delivering MIMO operation over multiple frequencies for reliable and resilient connections for first responder field needs, such as backhaul for Safety Dynamics gunshot detection, infrastructure for robotic dog-like quadrupeds and aerial drones, and wearable vests.
How It Works
Using a combination of BreadCrumb® wireless network nodes and InstaMesh® networking software, Rajant Kinetic Mesh® networks employ any-node to any-node capabilities to continuously and instantaneously route data via the best available traffic path and frequency—for any number of nodes, all with extremely low overhead.
Rajant BreadCrumbs can communicate with any Wi-Fi or Ethernet-connected device to deliver low-latency, high-throughput data, voice and video applications across the meshed, self-healing network.

What’s Enabled
Kinetic Mesh® networks work autonomously to provide optimal connectivity across an organization’s dynamic environment of fixed and mobile assets, delivering robust applications in real-time.
-
Total Mobility: Every node in a Kinetic Mesh® network can act independently and with full routing capabilities, making it a true peer-to-peer network that is completely mobile-enabled.
-
Proven Resiliency: With no single point of failure and self-healing capabilities, Kinetic Mesh® networks guarantee uptime of your mission-critical applications.
-
Maximum Bandwidth Utilization: Kinetic Mesh® networks make use of all installed radios to dynamically route wireless and wired connections over the best available links.
-
Rapid Scalability: While traditional mesh networks degrade as nodes are added, Kinetic Mesh® networks grow stronger with each additional node. Nodes also self-configure for easy spin-out.
-
Extreme Ruggedness and Security: Born from military and mining applications, our outdoor mesh network is proven to withstand the harshest conditions and support AES-CCMP and TKIP encryption with configurable per-hop, per-packet authentication.
This combination of technical functionality infuses Kinetic Mesh® networks with adaptability, flexibility, intelligence, and mobility to help organizations across industries improve operational effectiveness, enhance their quality of service, drive productivity, and generate increased ROI.
