David Haukeness, Komatsu’s product manager for autonomous systems, comments:
“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.”
Komatsu’s FrontRunner AHS uses a wealth of onboard technology and requires continuous, reliable wireless communication with the central office. 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.
Sagar Chandra, Vice President of Sales – Americas, Rajant Corp., comments:
“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.”
