Rajant Now Offers C1D2 Intrinsically Safe Kinetic Mesh Wireless Radio

Industries operating in hazardous environments now can implement
RajantÔÇÖs mobile connectivity and solve IIoT and automation
communications challenges; C1D2 products will be on display at
Downstream and Global Petroleum shows

PHILADELPHIA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rajant, the pioneer of mobile
wireless mesh network technology, now offers a C1D2 intrinsically
safe wireless radio option for industries operating in hazardous
environments. The new
ME4-2450R-C1D2 creates opportunities for a variety of industries ÔÇô
including petrochemical, manufacturing, utilities, aboveground mining,
and oil and gas ÔÇô to implement RajantÔÇÖs Kinetic Mesh┬« wireless network
as a single streamlined communications platform, providing mobile
connectivity from anywhere on the operations site and enabling
automation.

ÔÇ£There have been many challenges bringing wireless communications
solutions to our customersÔÇÖ flammable or explosive environments (hazloc)
with existing technologies,ÔÇØ said James Crowder, director of networking
infrastructure and architecture at Mark
III Systems, a Rajant partner. ÔÇ£By
combining their industry-leading mobile wireless network (Kinetic Mesh®)
technology and hazardous Class I, Division 2 intrinsically safe radios,
Rajant can now provide a complete solution to meet our customersÔÇÖ
mobility and connectivity requirements.ÔÇØ

To meet stringent hazardous location requirements, the ME4-2450R-C1D2
junction box and cable assembly provide a convenient method for
field-terminating power and Ethernet connections.

ÔÇ£Part of my value as a systems integrator is to quickly deploy solutions
while minimizing costs,ÔÇØ Crowder added. ÔÇ£With RajantÔÇÖs solution, I can
reach a growing number of hazardous location customers with a proven
solution for true industrial mobility.ÔÇØ

While networking and communications technologies advance at a rapid pace
and now incorporate Internet of Things (IoT) devices and autonomous
applications, this progress often could not be leveraged in hazardous
locations because of the risk associated with operating in areas like
offshore drilling rigs, refineries and chemical plants. As a result,
companies were forced to use a combination of different technologies or
networks for different environments or locations, adding cost and
complexity, and reducing efficiency. The new
ME4-2450R-C1D2 radio allows companies in all industries and
environments to simplify their communications process with a single
mobile networking technology that supports Kinetic Mesh® wireless
backhaul and Wi-Fi access concurrently.

ÔÇ£Rajant continues to seek ways to improve performance and add value to
our customersÔÇÖ operations,ÔÇØ said Geoff Smith, executive vice president
of sales at Rajant. ÔÇ£We realized the tradeoffs our customers were forced
to make when providing communications in hazardous locations, so we
ensured the ME4-2450R-C1D2 met hazardous-operations standards to provide
customers with the fully mobile multi-radio Kinetic Mesh® solution they
require.ÔÇØ

The ME4-2450R-C1D2 radio is intrinsically safe in United States and
Canadian operations.

Rajant is exhibiting at the Downstream
Conference & Exhibition, the leading conference for downstream
energy companies, global EPC contractors, technology providers and
service companies, running May 31 to June 1, 2018, in Galveston, Texas,
at Booth A9, with Mark III Systems. Rajant is also exhibiting at the Global
Petroleum Show, running June 12 to 14 in Calgary, Canada, at Booth
2220.
