KUALA LUMPUR, July 27 (Bernama) -- Rajant Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh® wireless networks, and Komatsu have achieved Rajant certification for Komatsu’s FrontRunner® Autonomous Haulage Solution (AHS).

Komatsu is a developer and supplier of heavy equipment and services for the construction, mining, forklift, industrial, and forestry markets.

Validation for FrontRunner AHS was completed in just six months, according to a statement.

“Achieving Rajant certification with Komatsu reflects the work of many individuals and addresses a key request from our mutual customers to continue utilising both companies’ advanced solutions,” said Rajant Corporation’s Vice President of Sales - Americas, Sagar Chandra.

Meanwhile, Komatsu’s product manager for autonomous systems, David Haukeness said: “Reliable communications networks that offer continuous mobile connectivity are crucial to successful autonomous haulage operations.”

“Rajant’s low-latency Kinetic Mesh and support for LTE and WiFi make their network a key part of our efforts to help our customers achieve their autonomous goals.”

Rajant Kinetic Mesh® machine-to-machine (M2M) InstaMesh® technology provides autonomous solutions like Komatsu’s FrontRunner AHS with higher reliability and network resiliency with low latency, which is critical to maintaining ‘always-on’ connectivity for autonomous machines.

Rajant is already co-deployed on Komatsu mining equipment in more than 100 mines globally and is now ready to support Komatsu’s autonomous solutions.
