Reliability No Single Point of Failure Rajant solutions are built to deliver extreme reliability in extreme Many mesh networks rely on a single node to collect and conditions. Kinetic mesh networking technology enables distributed disseminate routing information, which creates a hierarchy in control of BreadCrumb® communications routing, which means the communications transmission process. Through the use of Rajant networks are unparalleled in redundancy and availability. InstaMesh®, however, Rajant creates a true peer-to-peer network. Many competitive solutions depend on a controller node, which Each and every node is independent, with full routing capability, can cause communication interruptions when there is a change in and no dedicated backhaul. network configuration. In contrast, Rajant BreadCrumb® networks are highly robust – designed specifically to ensure no single point of failure – and perform strongly and reliably even in unstable environments. In Rajant kinetic mesh networks, there is also redundancy on single and multiple frequencies. In a capability that is unique to Rajant, BreadCrumb® devices actively use multiple radios to perform multiple functions at the same time. Each network node proactively scans the environment and takes corrective action – switching radio channel or frequency – the moment it senses an interference or obstruction. Each radio in a BreadCrumb node can have multiple BreadCrumb® networks are highly persistent connections – enabling hundreds of connections on a single node. robust – designed specifically to ensure Finally, Rajant’s proprietary Automatic Protocol Tunneling (APT) no single point of failure – and perform wired network – eliminating once again the possibility of a single strongly and reliably even in unstable technology allows for multiple ingress and egress points into the point of failure. environments.
