Rajant
Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh Networks and provider of
pervasive, multi-frequency wireless solutions, today announced a
strategic partnership with Vislink
Services a global Total Solutions Integrator, specializing in the
provision of Lifecycle Services across multiple industries – including Broadband
solutions for the mining
industry. Through the relationship, Vislink will integrate Rajant
BreadCrumb® wireless, portable mesh networking nodes and InstaMesh
software with other best-of-breed technologies to address the unique
challenges of its mining clients.
Following a successful pilot program, Vislink Services is now deploying
Rajant technology on a much larger scale in a multi-application
environment for one of its mining clients. Leveraging Rajant
BreadCrumbs® and InstaMesh software along with its own expertise in
antenna technology, Vislink is creating high-bandwidth, dynamic mesh
networks connecting geographically-dispersed mine equipment with command
and control centers. The applications include a timecard function, VoIP
communications to supplement two-way radios in the mine, multi-point
machine health monitoring for drag-lines, pit cars and water cannon
operations, pump controls, precision GPS to monitor equipment position
and shovel swing rate. The network also enables proper re-grading of the
area as part of the post-ming reclamation process.
“As a truly agnostic integrator, Vislink Services seeks the optimal
solutions for our clients,” noted Vislink Services President Christopher
Gibbons. “There are plenty of outdoor access point providers in the
market, but only Rajant offers the dynamic packet routing capability.
The BreadCrumbs® are rugged, compact, and offer the flexibility of
multiple radios and frequencies, which allows us to tailor the solution
to the particular mining requirement.”
“Over the last 20 years, Vislink Services has developed a strong
reputation as the leader in services and technology deployments and
support,” said Gary Anderson, Senior Vice President for Rajant. “Their
experience and expertise in large scale, complicated integration of
wireless solutions is exactly what we were looking for in a global
partner. They have great long term relationships with a major part of
the industry.”
Rajant offers a proven
set of networking solutions for the mining
industry, as well as for the military,
first
responders, municipalities,
service
providers and broadcasters.
