Rajant BreadCrumb ME
The Rajant BreadCrumb ME® is a rugged wireless transmitter-receiver that forms a mesh network (using InstaMesh™) when used in conjunction with other BreadCrumb devices. This portable battery-operated wireless mesh network node supports open-standard IEEE 802.11 protocols to enable data, voice and video applications. This lightweight portable unit can support one or two radios and requires only a single switch to operate.

Applications
MINING
For open pit and underground mines, Bread- Crumb devices form a resilient network for mine monitoring and control. Typical applications include Miner Tracking, Emergency Rescue, Voice communications (VoIP), Dispatch, Routing, Health Monitoring and Video.
MILITARY
With battery power, rugged enclosures, singleswitch operation and robust security, Bread-Crumb devices are perfect for military applications such as Perimeter Security, Sensor Data Collection, Video Surveillance, Convoy Security, RFID Tracking & more. Depending on BreadCrumb model, security options range from WEP, WPA2, SecNet 11® to IPS 140-2.
FIRST RESPONDERS
BreadCrumb devices form an instant secure network for emergency response, disaster relief, RFID tagging, voice communications (VoIP), PDAs, laptops, video and sensor applications. The included ethernet port can provide Internet access through satellite or microwave links.
InstaMesh
InstaMesh is an advanced protocol developed by Rajant that allows for continuous & instantaneous routing of wireless and wired connections. It enables complete network mobility, robust fault tolerance, high throughput and low latency, with zero maintenance and administration. The BreadCrumbs combine InstaMesh with support for standards in wireless access, security, network monitoring, QOS and much more.
In this diagram, the Rajant mesh network adapts to the changes caused by the movement of Node E. New links are established in real-time keeping the network available, intact and secure.
Because Rajant uses primarily Layer-2 and does not use a root node or LAN Controller, mobility and bandwidth are maximised. Multiple gateways and secure mesh-to-mesh authentication are also supported.
