Drones, Augmented Reality, and Personnel & Asset Tracking Features of Show Demos

Malvern, Pennsylvania (USA), Feb. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rajant Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh® wireless networks, and its technology partners will be attending EGYPS (Egypt Petroleum Show) in Cairo at the Egypt International Exhibition Center. .The event runs February 14th to 16th, with Rajant joining partners in Hall 2, Space F56. Presenting the reliable and secure collaborative solution for energy market IIoT connectivity will be AIRadio, Easy Aerial, and Kiber. Live smartfield-focused product demonstrations will be featured daily.

“Rajant understands what those in the oil and gas business need, and we have the product sitting on distributors’ shelves, ready for sale, unlike competitors who are struggling due to supply chain issues. Our wireless networking solutions are available worldwide through channel partners like AirRadio. Operating in hazardous environments places greater emphasis on the safety and security requirements while enabling continuous communications for a digitalized future-proof operation”, says Al Rivero, Rajant VP of Sales, Global Energy. “Rajant Kinetic Mesh maintains a secure, reliable, and resilient industrial wireless connection with uninterrupted low latency and high bandwidth. Comprehensive situational awareness is possible for technologies, such as drones, robots, and wearables, with continuous mobile communication enablement and tracking that is rapidly deployable, easy to maintain, and strengthened as the network expands.”

Highlighted at EGYPS will be Rajant’s industry-leading MeshTracer for personnel and asset tracking to advance site security and situational awareness. It can effectively report on Rajant BreadCrumbs, AeroScout tags, and any Wi-Fi device that uses a static MAC address. MeshTracer is the most effective mustering and tracking, incident management, and communications platform on the market today, which uses Real-Time Location System (RTLS) technology to identify people and assets across all zones and areas of an industrial IoT site. The system uses standardized communication protocols, allowing devices to exchange messages, define incidents, and monitor the flow of users throughout a physical environment.

Beyond oil and gas applications, Rajant has a 20-year successful track record for commercial deployments in such industries as mining, ports, heavy construction, and a non-commercial history for the military and public safety. Rajant pioneered fully mobile V2X/M2M and has a heritage of maintaining interoperability with existing BreadCrumb wireless nodes with new product releases. Notably, in 2021, Rajant introduced its fourth generation BreadCrumbs, known as Peregrine and Hawk, which have had the fastest transition to new sales in the company’s history.

Partner demonstrations and meetings at EGYPS include:

Easy Aerial – Drones

Whether monitoring infrastructure, assets, or events, Easy Aerial has an autonomous drone solution ready to go above and beyond in terms of ease-of-use, durability, and coverage. Its aircraft solution makes autonomous security easy. Deployments occur via a triggered sensor or as a planned mission to provide full HD and thermal views directly from the aircraft, allowing users to make smarter decisions faster.

Kiber – Augmented Reality Headset

Empowering the workforce through AR technology-based solutions, Kiber is making remote collaboration easy, safe, and efficient. The Kiber3 is a unique hardware and software fully integrated AR remote communication wearable solution allowing users to live-stream field activities to command operations. Situational awareness is dynamic and interactive for on-site workers to receive support while staying focused on their job with an all-in-one “hands-free” solution.
