Rajant Announces New High Performance Wireless BreadCrumb® LX

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rajant Corporation, a leading provider of portable wireless mesh networking solutions, announced today the availability of the BreadCrumb® LX, a new high performance wireless access system. This high bandwidth multi-radio device adds to the existing family of portable Rajant BreadCrumb® wireless mesh devices that are deployed by hundreds of military, mining and first responder customers worldwide.

Rajant’s new BreadCrumb® LX will allow users to connect standard IEEE 802.11b/g (Wi-Fi), or 802.11a devices such as laptops, PDAs, GPS devices, IP cameras, sensors and RFID tags to a secure, highly-available, high-bandwidth wireless mesh network. Increased bandwidth and interference avoidance is achieved through the dual radio architecture that utilizes both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz unlicensed frequency bands.

“The market has responded nicely to this new offering from Rajant,” said Glenn Booth, Vice President of Marketing for Rajant. “The BreadCrumb® LX multi-radio, multi-band architecture gives our customers even more bandwidth and network availability to support some of their new emerging applications such as video streaming and health-monitoring of high-capital equipment. We have designed the BreadCrumb® LX to be modular to support up to three radios. We are also testing additional frequency bands such as 4.9GHz and 900MHz.”

Rajant’s InstaMesh® is the underlying software technology on each BreadCrumb® that can maintain hundreds of client device and network BreadCrumb® connections simultaneously, even while the clients and nodes are moving. InstaMesh® removes much of the network setup and configuration complexity by utilizing imbedded intelligence and a single switch for activation.

“The new BreadCrumb® LX augments our Secure Mobile Communications offering which gives our customers a multi-frequency, rugged and secure mobile mesh solution,” said Louis Street, Cofounder of Armoured Technology. “We found it to be very high performing and it has robust radio and security features that are perfect for convoy, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), and portable sensor applications.”
