Dual-radio flexibility
Choose mixed 2.4/5 GHz or dual 4.9/5 GHz configurations to suit your network.
Rajant Kinetic Mesh
Compact wireless mesh connectivity for equipment that needs to move.
The Rajant Sparrow BreadCrumb® is a compact, rugged wireless mesh node for mobile equipment, vehicles and embedded systems. Combining Kinetic Mesh networking, Wi-Fi access and Layer 2 switching, it maintains resilient connectivity as equipment moves.
*Manufacturer-stated maximum radio data rate; actual application throughput varies.
Rajant Sparrow connects vehicles, mobile plant, industrial sensors and other IP-enabled equipment where fixed wireless infrastructure may be impractical. Its compact, solid-state construction is suited to demanding environments.
Rajant InstaMesh® automatically selects network paths and reroutes traffic when wireless links change or become unavailable. The Sparrow combines mesh networking with an integrated Wi-Fi access point and Layer 2 switching, allowing compatible cameras, tablets, sensors and wired devices to connect to the network.
Available in mixed-band and dual-5 GHz configurations, Sparrow offers deployment flexibility for industrial automation, remote monitoring, mining, construction and transport operations.
