Rajant to Present at Military Wireless Conference

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rajant Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh Networks and provider of pervasive, multi-frequency wireless solutions, today announced that Gary Anderson, senior vice president, sales will present, “Intelligent, Adaptive Wireless Communications,” at the Military Wireless Conference on December 15, 2010 from 4:30pm – 5:00pm PT at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Conference will run from December 15-16, 2010.

“Rajant’s kinetic mesh network technology is the ideal solution for a variety of military applications because of its rugged construction, ease of deployment and support, and adaptability to the most challenging network environments. We’re looking forward to the opportunities that this Conference offers.”

“We are delighted to present about Rajant’s technology and our key differentiators to such a prestigious audience as the Military Wireless Conference,” said Mr. Anderson. “Rajant’s kinetic mesh network technology is the ideal solution for a variety of military applications because of its rugged construction, ease of deployment and support, and adaptability to the most challenging network environments. We’re looking forward to the opportunities that this Conference offers.”

A portion of Mr. Anderson’s presentation will focus on Rajant’s work at the Iron Ore Company of Canada, Canada's largest iron ore producer and a leading global supplier of iron ore pellets and concentrates. As in the battlefield, mining operations consist of numerous vehicles and personnel in rugged terrain -- requiring secure, reliable, constant high-bandwidth connectivity while on the move. Similar to military scenarios, there is no existing cellular, 3G or Wi-Fi infrastructure available to assist with the network for the ‘boots-on-the-ground’ foot soldiers. The Rajant BreadCrumbs alleviate this situation by building a resilient, scalable wireless mesh capable of any-node to any-node communications. If a wide area link is required, the BreadCrumb network can easily transmit and receive data through a satellite, point-to-point wireless or wired link.

At IOC, like many surface mines, mine-wide line-of-sight wireless communication is nearly impossible due to obstructions. A multi-hopper repeater network might improve coverage in some areas, but experience shows that the constantly changing topography in a mine usually results in the need for full-time monitoring and repositioning of repeater trailers.

In addition to the remote health monitoring of major machines, drill management, pump analytics and machine-grade control, the network also powers laptops in vehicles – providing “office in a box” capabilities leveraging VMWare. Today, the 400-plus access points at the IOC site in Newfoundland have been in constant operation for over two years – reliably supporting all aspects of mining operations.
