Extending reliable wireless communication to the edge is a growing challenge for defense environments, where networks must support moving fleets, congested and contested environments, and other operational constraints. Traditional network architectures are often designed around fixed infrastructures, which can limit performance in real-scenario military deployments. As applications such as ATAK and C2 move farther from centralized infrastructure, maintaining consistent coverage becomes increasingly complex.
Rajant Kinetic Mesh® is designed to address these challenges by enabling networks to extend reach across rugged environments while supporting resilient, high-throughput low latency wireless communications for real-time communications. By allowing BreadCrumb® network nodes to operate peer-to-peer with each other, the Kinetic Mesh® network can adapt dynamically to changes in environment and RF conditions.
To expand on more on the capabilities that Rajant brings for defense applications using modularity and range, we’re joined by Dave Acker at Rajant Corporation. Dave will explore how Rajant enables high power and modularity to contribute to extend reach and coverage to the tactical edge defined by defense battlefields.

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.
