Rajant’s new historical data tool
Rajant, the pioneer of innovative mobile mesh technology for private
wireless networks, recently announced BC|Enterprise, “a powerful tool that
adds historical data analysis to Rajant’s management and monitoring
functionality, giving administrators strategic insights into their networks.”
BC|Enterprise augments BC|Commander, a desktop application that
provides a real-time view of a mesh network as well as other management
functionality. Used for networks of any size, the web-based tool monitors
and graphs the individual performance and environmental attributes of
mesh radio nodes
and
administratively
designated groups
of nodes over
various time
periods.
“BC|Enterprise

Marty Lamb, Vice President, Software Engineering at Rajant. “These
insights include the current state of the RF environment as well as data for
individual nodes or groups of nodes, such as those on trucks and shovels,
loading docks, or specific drilling sites. The result is the ability to identify
and address potential issues before they impact users, adding huge value
to the network environment. For Rajant Kinetic Mesh partners, BC|Enterprise
strengthens their servicing capabilities because the tool reduces the time
needed to diagnose potential network issues.”
In addition, it addresses queries related to historical data like, “What
transpired on the mesh last March or 15 minutes ago?” Its default
dashboards, based on years of Rajant experience providing support
services, graph the most useful data for network operators.
“Such data is crucial on large networks running many applications. For
example, if users tell the administrator they see issues with a video
monitoring application, he or she can examine graphs to determine activity.
If the administrator sees more LAN traffic than expected, he or she can
