Rajant FE1-2455LW Peregrine LTE BreadCrumb®

The Rajant FE1-2455LW Peregrine LTE BreadCrumb® is a powerful, quad-radio wireless mesh node designed to integrate private and carrier LTE with Rajant’s Kinetic Mesh® for unmatched connectivity, mobility, and bandwidth in harsh and dynamic environments.

This high-performance BreadCrumb features four transceivers—one LTE 2×2 MIMO, one 2.4 GHz, and two 5 GHz radios—delivering up to 2.6 Gbps of combined data throughput. It enables real-time communication for bandwidth-intensive, latency-sensitive applications such as video streaming, telemetry, and autonomous vehicle operations in sectors like mining, defense, shipping ports, and heavy construction.

Unlike traditional LTE-based systems that rely on backhaul to a central core, the Peregrine LTE allows direct peer-to-peer routing in the field, drastically reducing latency and improving efficiency for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. By combining long-range LTE coverage with Rajant’s patented InstaMesh® software, the unit dynamically adapts to moving network elements and ensures uninterrupted data flow, even in highly obstructed or shadowed environments like mine faces.

This hybrid solution supports a wide range of licensed and public LTE bands (Bands 1–5, 7–9, 12, 13, 18–20, 26, 28–30, 32, 41–43, 46, 48, 66), and features Cat 12 LTE downlink (600 Mbps) and Cat 13 uplink (150 Mbps) capabilities. Paired with 256-QAM modulation, 2×2 MIMO, and 80 MHz channels, the Peregrine LTE offers robust coverage and throughput performance for industrial operations with high data demands.

Rajant’s InstaMesh® technology provides autonomous, Layer 2-based routing with no need for LAN controllers or fixed infrastructure. Each BreadCrumb node can dynamically select the best path per packet in real time, ensuring optimal performance and fault tolerance across the entire mobile network.

In addition to its advanced networking capabilities, the Peregrine LTE supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi Access Point and Client Mode, enabling direct connection to off-the-shelf Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as laptops, tablets, IP cameras, and sensors. Its rugged, IP67-rated enclosure and wide temperature range (−40°C to +70°C) make it ideal for harsh industrial deployments where reliability is critical.

Security is handled with a robust suite of cryptographic protocols including AES256-GCM, XSalsa20, and per-hop, per-packet authentication. Advanced tunneling (APT and RPT) further secures back-end connections and enables seamless integration with enterprise networks.

The FE1-2455LW Peregrine LTE BreadCrumb® is interoperable with all Rajant BreadCrumb models, offering scalable, real-time mesh connectivity to support digital twins, predictive analytics, AR/VR, and condition-based monitoring, all while improving worker safety and operational efficiency.
