RipEX2 now with two COM ports

RipEX2 and RipEX2e radio modems now have two serial ports in one DSUB9 connector without the need for an mPCIe expansion board. COM1 can be configured to RS232 (CD, RxD, TxD, GND, RTS, CTS, RI) or RS485 (line A, line B), while COM2 is RS232 only (RxD, TxD, GND).

FW Upgrade for RipEX2 and M!DGE3

New FW for RipEX2 Radio modems and M!DGE3 Cellular routers with major security improvements has been released this summer. There is now automatic periodic key exchange for AES encryption on the radio channel, AEAD encryption and PPK keys for IPsec, and improvements to the dynamic Babel protocol on the radio channel. More in video here.

RAy3 for 80 GHz now with 256QAM

RACOM in Central America

RipEX radio modems are also popular in Central America, where we have installations in Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Panama. Local power distributors have struggled with non-functioning radio networks in the difficult terrain of the Caribbean coast. Today several hundred of our RipEX radio modems are deployed to full satisfaction, most of them with cellular expansion cards. Read more about one of the references here.

New videos

Protocol on the Radio channel is the main parameter that determines the throughput of the overall network. Therefore, our RipEX radio modem has three different protocols for different types of applications. We have added new tutorial videos on our YouTube channel on how to set up our unique protocols Base drivenFlexible and Transparent. All of them are of course subtitled in English, Czech, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian.

RACOM is not just a job

We don’t live only by work, so we go on trips together from time to time. Last week our cycling group enjoyed a traditional bike trip. Sometimes we play floorball or football, do pilates regularly or just go out to enjoy some time together.
