The global relationship with trains and railroads is incredibly nuanced. Each country has a varying capacity and allure to this legacy mode of transportation, and the benefits of rail vary widely from place to place. To better understand the situation, it is essential to distinguish the use of rail between freight (cargo) and passenger trains. In the United States (where our love of cars is apparent), our rail system delivers approximately 61 tons of goods per American every year, helping to make modern life possible. However, the number of annual American rail passengers pales in comparison to elsewhere in the world.
However, it is undeniable that trains and rail transportation have remained a part of the American zeitgeist for more than a century. Whether it is the allure of the engineering, breathtaking views, or rail’s connection to our nation’s history, peoples’ love for trains persists, and the critical nature of freight transportation remains indispensable to our economy.
American rail infrastructure has been overlooked in our era of modernization and continues to be a roadblock for future rail development. As the demand for application support and robust internet from passengers and logistics companies continues to grow, the need for more capable industrial Wi-Fi network infrastructure for trains is apparent. Here at Rajant, we have recognized the insufficiency of rail connectivity networks and have been working to creatively meet the industry’s demands for both passenger and freight.

Identifying early the need for private network infrastructure that could effectively support fully mobile wireless communications in industrial settings, Rajant Corporation developed its patented Kinetic Mesh® technology—and in turn became the pioneer provider of the most adaptable, scalable, and readily deployed fully mobile network on the market today.
Rajant was established in October 2001, after founders Robert Schena and Paul Hellhake recognized the significant shortcomings in traditional wireless mesh technology, particularly when it came to mobile voice and data networks used by first responders. The Rajant team envisioned a new, more robust mesh technology that would allow these networks to be fully mobile and mobility-enabled, and operate reliably in even the most demanding environments. Enter the Rajant Kinetic Mesh® network.
