Cloud governance plane
Unified Data Fabric
Simultaneously ingests MQTT, ROS, Modbus, RTSP, HTTP/HTTPS, Serial/USB, BLE, sockets, and more through the Sensor Adapter Service.
Cowbell is Rajant Health's distributed edge compute platform built on the CORA + ATLAS architecture. CORA runs on every node and manages orchestration, data movement, and autonomous execution under disconnected conditions. ATLAS provides governance, identity, telemetry, and lifecycle control from the cloud. Hardware variants are EdgeCrumb Cowbell, Flying Cowbell, sQuare, and Circle. Cowbell deploys in 0.5–2 days, runs air-gapped, and supports NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano/NX, Raspberry Pi CM5, and additional hardware.
COWBELL PLATFORM · CORA + ATLAS ARCHITECTURE
The Execution Layer for Every Deployment.
Scalable Fast-Deployable Distributed Edge Infrastructure and Platform for Managing Your Devices, Data, & Apps.
Cowbell provides a unified management plane across devices, clusters, networks, and applications. CORA runs on every node and manages orchestration, data movement, and autonomous execution under disconnected conditions. ATLAS provides governance, identity, telemetry, lifecycle control, and commercial operations from the cloud.
Together, CORA and ATLAS establish a clear mental model: execution and autonomy at the edge, governed by policy, identity, and lifecycle control in the cloud.

INDUSTRIAL · HIGH-PERFORMANCE · AVAILABLE VIA EAP
EdgeCrumb Cowbell
ECB-MX-Y-NZ
A ruggedized industrial edge compute and networking appliance based on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano/NX or Raspberry Pi CM5, with embedded Rajant AG1 or DX5 BreadCrumb running CORA. Delivers up to 100+ TOPS of AI compute in a hardened enclosure built for static or mobile deployment in extreme environments.
DESIGNED FOR
Organizations running AI-intensive workloads in harsh, outdoor, or infrastructure-poor environments where uptime, security, and raw compute power are non-negotiable.
USE CASES
- Automated surveillance and perimeter monitoring at ports, mines, and construction sites
- Real-time safety analytics and worker health monitoring in oil & gas and industrial facilities
- Asset tracking and anomaly detection across critical infrastructure
- Defense and tactical edge compute in GPS-denied or disconnected environments
- Computer vision and video analytics without cloud dependency
BUY WHEN
Your deployment demands high AI compute, rugged outdoor durability, embedded mesh networking, and multi-node clustering — and you need it to run fully autonomously without cloud connectivity.

Flying Cowbell
FCB-DX-Y-DX5Z
A SWaP-optimized, OEM-grade embeddable edge compute module based on Raspberry Pi CM5 with an integrated DX5 BreadCrumb weighing under 150g. Designed to ride inside drones, UGVs, AMRs, and mobile platforms — including as the embedded compute core of sQuare and Circle Cowbell variants.
DESIGNED FOR
System integrators, OEM builders, and operators who need edge AI and mesh connectivity embedded directly in mobile platforms, without sacrificing size, weight, or power budgets.
USE CASES
- Onboard AI inference and sensor fusion on aerial drones and ground robots
- Tactical reconnaissance and situational awareness in field operations
- Environmental monitoring and remote asset inspection via autonomous platforms
- Emergency response where mobile, mesh-connected edge compute is required
- OEM platform integration as the embedded intelligence core
BUY WHEN
You are building or operating mobile platforms — drones, robots, or vehicles — that need onboard edge AI and resilient mesh connectivity in a minimal Size, Weight, and Power footprint.

sQuare Cowbell
SCB-DX-Y-DX5Z
A wall-mounted ambient edge gateway and enterprise Wi-Fi access point with an embedded Flying Cowbell running CORA. Optimized for passive data collection, sensor aggregation, and site-level intelligence — with LED and touch display interfaces for glanceable status. No GPU, designed for large-scale, cost-effective indoor deployments.
DESIGNED FOR
Healthcare facilities, smart buildings, campuses, and elder care environments where ambient intelligence needs to be invisible, scalable, and easy to deploy across many rooms or zones.
USE CASES
- Continuous ambient patient monitoring and fall detection in hospital wards
- Room occupancy sensing and environmental control in smart buildings
- Passive wearable data aggregation and BLE sensor collection across a facility
- Automation triggers and glanceable status displays for clinical staff
- Distributed edge intelligence across student housing, wellness, or care campuses
BUY WHEN
You need to deploy intelligent, always-on sensor collection and edge compute across many indoor spaces — at lower cost and power per node — where aesthetics and unobtrusiveness matter.

Telehealth, elder care, and clinical environments where patients or at-risk individuals need an always-on, AI-powered care interface that operates locally and escalates intelligently.
USE CASES
- AI-driven patient triage: symptom assessment, risk stratification, and care workflow guidance
- Proactive alerts and escalation for elderly or high-acuity patients
- VoIP-based real-time consultation between patients and remote care providers
- Local visualization of multi-modal health data from wearables and environmental sensors
- Conversational health agents for medication reminders, check-ins, and interventions

You are deploying interactive, patient-facing care intelligence — particularly in home care, elder care, or telehealth settings — where local AI and offline operation are critical to continuity of care.
BRING YOUR OWN HARDWARE
Already Have Compatible Hardware? Run CORA On It.
Cowbell's software stack is hardware-agnostic by design. CORA can be deployed on a broad spectrum of existing hardware — from ARM/Linux single-board computers and Intel x86 platforms to NVIDIA Jetson-based systems provided by OEM partners and system integrators. BreadCrumb integration is optional for third-party variants, giving you flexibility over your networking layer.
If you have an existing edge compute investment — a ruggedized server, a tablet fleet, or a custom-built platform — CORA may already be compatible. Reach out to RHI and we'll assess your hardware for Cowbell certification and integration support.
