• Link placed in center of Prague, in area of high occupancy of the 10 Ghz range and strong interferences
• Distance: 3.3 km
• Channel width 14 MHz 256-QAM ACM / 128-QAM

Customer Comment:

"We have deployed the link on one of the most interfered sites we have. When installing, we appreciated the mechanical design, built-in spectrum analyzer and the ability to control all channels. Web interface is intuitive enough, we did not have to even use manual. Initially we had issue with passage of VLAN packets but since reinstalling firmware the link has been working reliably and without blackouts."

• True user with high data volumes (IPTV, VoIP, internet installation)
• Installation in Ostrava Poruba
• Interfered environment, the only free channels 4,7
• Distance: 1.5 kilometers

Customer Comment:

"We received Ray from RACOM primarily for testing in real user operation on site with heavy load and with wide spectrum of client applications. Web interface, management and diagnostics are considered by us as successful. During load tests and real operation the link worked well, without blackouts and in intentions promised by manufacturer."

• long distance link in countryside
• distance: 15.4 km across water reservoir with 65 cm antennas Jirous
• Calculated RSS level of -64.6 dBm, the measured level of -60 dBm
• channel width 28 MHz, ACM 32-QAM / 128 - QAM

Customer Comment:

"We installed Ray on our problematic 15.4 km long link where the existing equipment has problems and blackouts. Initially we had problems even with Ray: fluctuations signal strength, nonreciprocal data rate, but for all that Ray only dropped data rate to 40Mbit (-85dBm) without loss of any packets. Mysterious signal decreases at a certain hour were eliminated by removing unnamed equipment. Now we experience only smaller fluctuation in signal strength which is probably caused by transmission over a large water surface. Fluctuations of RSS is perfectly compensated by ACM, so the link runs over the entire period without any blackouts, occasionally reducing speeds down to 32 QAM which I believe will improve if needed by using 90 cm antennas. I mostly appreciate its user-friendly interface, trouble-free installation and operation over greater distances than with competing products with the same sizes of antennas."

• Tested by one of the largest associations (5 000 members) in Czech Republic
• Deployed in two locations: 'normal' and 'interfered'
• Installations in Kladno and surrounding
• Testing and real operation

Customer Comment:

"What captivated us most about Ray was its proclaimed resistance to interferences. Therefore, we put it on this tower house, where the roof is fitted with 8 links in the same range run by other operators and 4 links run by Klfree.net. In close distance there are another 5 buildings equipped with a similar number of connections of different operators - and visibility over whole Central Bohemia. The tests have the simple conclusion - Ray passed and worked well. "

• Long-term test - 10 months
• Distance <1 km
• Channel width 28 MHz, ACM/256 QAM continuously in both directions
• RSS -44 dBm, 0 dBm power output
• Real service, connecting 300 members

Customer Comment:

"We are from Nove Mesto na Morave as well as RACOM, so Ray got to us in 2008. Link was installed at -20 C. Even though it was a prototype, after initial tests we deployed the link from March in real operation. It is used to connect approximately 200 members with join traffic load over 100 Mbps. In case of failure of other connection, Ray is used as the main link to the Internet. In such cases the link provides connection for all 400 users of the network. Ray is installed on shared pole with 3 links from KPE and 1 link from Summitd. Unless we had monitored the link within the scope of testing for RACOM, we would not have known about it. "
