Rajant and LDV Partner to Deliver Integrated Wireless Meshed Networks in Special Service Vehicles.MALVERN, Pa. & BURLINGTON, Wis. -- Rajant Corporation and LDV LDV Laser Doppler Velocimetry LDV Light Duty Vehicle LDV Laser Doppler Velocimeter LDV Local Defence Volunteers (Afterwards Home Guard, UK) LDV Limited Dependent Variable LDV Laser Doppler Vibrometers LDV Leyland Daf Vehicles Corporation today announced a joint effort that combines instant, portable wireless network capabilities with mobile command and other specialty vehicles to ensure the continuity of communications in and around mobile hubs. LDV will now offer Rajant's BreadCrumb See breadcrumbs. [R] technology both in new vehicles as well as in the form of technology upgrades for existing customers. Rajant's BreadCrumbs provide first responders and military personnel with voice and data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers. In popular usage, it is said that data communications make it possible for one computer to "talk" with another. across an ad-hoc self-healing network A network architecture that can withstand a failure in its transmission paths. See SONET ring. using link layer routing that can communicate with IP based client devices, such as laptops, PDAs, video cameras, satellite terminals, networked radios and sensor devices. Through use of easily deployable repeaters, or BreadCrumbs, rapid setup and reliable connectivity of the network can be achieved. BreadCrumbs are small, portable, mobile, self-configuring, battery powered, self-meshing, self-healing wireless meshing bridges and access points, based on 802.11b wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area technology, that allows stand-alone networks to quickly organize in places where there is no standing infrastructure and require no network administration ("one button on"). "New and existing LDV vehicle customers will benefit from Rajant's cutting edge wireless technology as part of their communications network The transmission channels interconnecting all client and server stations as well as all supporting hardware and software. ," said David Krause, President, LDV. Indeed, what makes the partnership so beneficial is that the BreadCrumb network will mesh with and extend the existing LDV vehicle network out, with virtually no limit to distance depending on the number of BreadCrumb units used. Personnel will be able to utilize palm pilots, cameras, laptops and VoIP phones all connected back to the LDV vehicle. "BreadCrumb Technology will allow for the extension of the communication suite within the LDV command vehicles into the 'hot zone,'" said Bob Schena, Chairman, Rajant Corporation. LDV will feature Rajant BreadCrumb technology with sales agents, in their parts catalogues, and in technology upgrade packages. About Rajant Corporation: Rajant Corporation has a proven unique approach to deliver instant, mobile, wireless broadband connectivity wherever the network is needed. Using its BreadCrumb[R] family of products, organizations can realize significant flexibility and reliability to operate and communicate in diverse and environments. With BreadCrumbs, users get secure and steady connectivity with remotely located resources. The BreadCrumb[R] operates on the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.11b protocol (with options for 4.9 GHz and 900 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. ) and has been applied in many areas of emergency management and rapid deployment. A one-button operation provides instantaneous meshing with other BreadCrumbs and connectivity to wired and wireless clients. Recent exercises with the US Army, Thailand Army, Canadian emergency management teams and other joint military exercises within the United States have proved the credibility and capacity of Rajant's BreadCrumb[R] products. The company's headquarters are in Malvern, PA.
