Rajant Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh® wireless networking, and Epiroc Mexico, a leading provider of mining equipment and productivity solutions, have announced a strategic partnership to deliver more reliable, deployment-ready connectivity solutions for mining customers across Mexico, with opportunities to support Epiroc’s broader global mining portfolio.
Mining operations across Mexico, particularly large open-pit sites, face constantly changing environments as equipment, vehicles, and production areas move throughout the operation. Maintaining reliable wireless communications across these dynamic sites is essential to improving productivity, enhancing safety, reducing downtime, and supporting automation initiatives.
Through this partnership, Epiroc Mexico and Rajant combine Epiroc’s mining expertise, digital capabilities, and established customer relationships with Rajant’s resilient Kinetic Mesh networking technology. Unlike conventional wireless infrastructure, Rajant’s self-healing architecture continuously adapts as equipment, vehicles, and operations move throughout the mine, helping maintain reliable connectivity without relying on fixed infrastructure that can be difficult to deploy, relocate, or expand.
Together, the companies will help mining organisations strengthen operational visibility, support mobile equipment fleets, reduce connectivity-related downtime, and build a reliable communications foundation for today’s connected operations while preparing for increasingly automated and autonomous mining environments.
“Reliable communications have become a foundational requirement for modern mining operations,” said Sagar Chandra, Executive Vice President of Global Sales, Rajant Corporation. “Our partnership with Epiroc combines Rajant’s resilient communications platform with one of the world’s leading mining technology providers. Together, we’re helping customers improve productivity, operational visibility, and readiness for increasingly connected and autonomous operations, beginning in Mexico, with the potential for broader collaboration across Latin America.”
“This partnership represents another important step in Epiroc Mexico´s commitment to accelerating the digital transformation of the mining industry,” said Björn Tisell, General Manager, Epiroc Mexico. “By combining Rajant’s industry-leading wireless networking technology with Epiroc’s mining expertise and customer proximity, we are enabling our customers to build more connected, productive, and sustainable operations. We are excited about the opportunities this collaboration creates, not only in Mexico but also as a model for future growth across the region.”
Building on this vision, César Rojas, Business Line Manager – Digital Solutions, Epiroc Mexico, added: “Digital transformation begins with reliable connectivity. Our customers are increasingly adopting automation, machine data, fleet management, and advanced digital solutions that require continuous, resilient communications throughout the mine. Rajant’s technology provides the flexibility and reliability needed to support these initiatives, allowing mining companies to maximise operational efficiency while preparing for the mine of the future.”
