MALVERN, PA — Rajant Corporation has expanded its industrial networking portfolio with two new products designed to embed 5G directly into wireless mesh architectures from the outset, rather than as an add-on after deployment.
The company introduced the SLP-1025 Slipstream, a high-performance gateway, alongside the Hawk FE1-2450G, a next-generation BreadCrumb device featuring an integrated 5G radio. Rajant said the platforms allow enterprises to design Kinetic Mesh networks with 5G built into the core, supporting growing demand for distributed computing, high-bandwidth applications, and real-time industrial automation.
Rajant positions the release as a shift in how mobility-centric industrial networks are architected. Instead of bolting 5G onto existing infrastructure, operators can now integrate cellular connectivity alongside mesh networking from day one, enabling synchronized data flow across multiple network types.
“With these new products, Rajant is reimagining how industrial operators design mobility-centric networks at the edge,” said Andrew Martin, director of product management at Rajant. He said the new platforms allow customers to fuse disparate networks while extending mesh reliability to 5G environments, increasing throughput and reducing bottlenecks without sacrificing resilience.
Both products align with Rajant’s broader strategy to support next-generation distributed computing in industrial settings. By pairing 5G’s capacity and speed with Rajant’s multi-radio, multi-path Kinetic Mesh architecture, operators can run analytics, automation platforms, artificial intelligence workloads, and real-time control systems closer to where data is generated.
Central to that approach is Rajant’s InstaMesh technology, which dynamically routes traffic across Wi-Fi, 5G, and wired connections. The company said the self-healing capability maintains application uptime as conditions change, assets move, or infrastructure is disrupted, a requirement in sectors such as mining, energy, transportation, and heavy manufacturing.
Rajant said the SLP-1025 Slipstream and Hawk FE1-2450G provide a flexible foundation for 5G-ready industrial connectivity. The platforms are designed to simplify network management, support gradual expansion of edge computing and automation, and preserve existing investments through backward-compatible migration paths, while extending reliable connectivity into remote and demanding environments.
The company said the additions are aimed at organizations that need mission-critical systems to remain continuously connected as industrial operations become more automated, data-intensive, and geographically distributed.
