Microwave link RAy is a high-speed point-to-point link developed and completely manufactured by RACOM, a global leader in the development and production of industrial grade wireless equipment.

This Full outdoor Software Defined Radio with Linux OS has been designed with attention to detail, performance and quality. All relevant state-of-the-art concepts have been carefully implemented without compromise.

In keeping with our twenty-year tradition on the industrial market, it has become a de facto standard that all RACOM products excel in their technical parameters, professional design, exceptional reliability and quality.

Exceptional system gain and resistance to disturbances (faciliated e.g. by unique input filter design) make RAy the product of choice for both the backbone and last-mile microwave links.

Microwave link products form the third leg in RACOM product portfolio. RACOM microwave links complement Radio modems and GPRS/EDGE/UMTS routers and make RACOM portfolio for wireless communication full-scale. A RACOM microwave link can be used as a microwave backhaul link for radio data networks using RACOM radio modems, however a industry-grade high-speed point-to-point microwave link working as a wireless bridge can be used in many different applications. RACOM microwave link products are frequently used e.g. by ISP providers for their backhauls as well as for high-speed last mile.
