History

RACOM’s foundations were laid in 1989 before the fall of communism in the former Czechoslovakia. In the beginning we were producing equipment for radio amateurs in a small workshop, however, it wasn’t long before we were successfully exporting our products.

The local radio amateur market soon became too small for us and so in 1990 we made a conscious decision to enter the wireless data transmission market and began manufacturing radio modems.

Today we primarily specialise in developing, manufacturing, and installing our own radio modems.

We have been one of the leading players on the global market since the early 90’s and play a significant role in setting development trends in the field of wireless communication.
