We would like to share our latest news with you.

At the beginning of January, the third FAT for the next delivery of RipEX2 radio modems for power distribution in Egypt was successfully completed. We have delivered approximately 300 pcs of RipEX2 radio modems in the first phase of the project and believe that more will follow. More information can be found here.

RACOM continues its steady growth! As every year in January, the company’s management met with the sales team to review the previous year and to inform themselves about the prospects for the year ahead. The results for 2023 were better than 2022 and the outlook for 2024 also looks promising. More information can be found here.

As every year we will be attending the Distributech Conference & Exhibition, which will take place 27-29 February 2024 in Orlando, USA. Distributech is the largest event in the field of power generation and distribution, its automation, metering, SCADA, telemetry, smart cities, etc. If you are interested, register for free and stop by our booth.

Celesc in Brazil has decided to use our radio modems in a pilot project to remotely collect data from power meters in order to automate metering. RipEX and RipEX2 radio modems are used in the network through which approximately 35,400 meters communicate to the centre. More information can be found here.

In November we hosted a webinar to discuss our latest RAy3 80 GHz microwave link with 10 Gb/s speed. We talked about how the RAy3-80 is performing in mass production, what its technical features and capabilities are and what users have experienced with it in the field. A recording of the webinar is available here.

The second webinar was held in December and focused on two more products that we launched in 2023 – the RipEX2e Radio modem and the M!DGE3 Cellular router and their comparison with other members of their product lines. We also talked about current trends in SCADA communications and hybrid networks that combine communication over a private radio channel and a cellular network. A recording of the webinar is available here.

We have released new FW 2.1.2.0 for RipEX2 Radio modem and M!DGE3 Cellular router. The most interesting of the new features is OpenVPN, the implementation of which is unique in the radio modem market. For RipEX2 we have also improved the encryption on the radio channel to AES-256-CCM which prevents Replay attack.

Thank you for your support and cooperation in 2023. We will do our best to grow our cooperation in 2024 and will do everything possible to make you satisfied with RACOM. We wish you all the best for the New Year!

This year we have launched new models of the RipEX2e Radio modem and the M!DGE3 Cellular router which have quickly established themselves on the market. In addition to these models in the webinar we will present hybrid networks where both technologies are combined, give examples from practice and talk about the latest trends in wireless communications for SCADA systems. Register here.

The use of RipEX radio modems is very diverse. In Chile for example they are installed on a glacier at an altitude of 2,165 m in a tectonically active area where data from seismological and meteorological measurements are transferred. Remote area accessible only by helicopter with no infrastructure thus the modems are powered by solar panels.

RAy microwave links are well established in the US market where RACOM has three distributors: ISP supplies, Streakwave Wireless and Alliance Corporation. All distributors had a booth at Wispapalooza, the largest exhibition for the ISP market in the USA. In the presence of our representative they introduced our new this year product – RAy3 for 80 GHz.

RAy3 for 80 GHz has achieved a strong market presence within its mere six months of availability. We invite you to a Webinar where you will gain insights into the capabilities of the RAy3-80 link. In addition, webinar attendees will have the opportunity to get a test link under special conditions.

After two years of testing, RipEX2 radio modems have been selected to provide communications in a large-scale project to upgrade power distribution networks in Egypt. In the presence of the Japanese investor, general contractors and the end customer, FAT tests were successfully completed in August and the first 200 units can be shipped to Egypt.

Ukrainian energy companies are doing their maximum to keep the distribution networks running and supplying electricity as continuously as possible during the war. We are pleased that our RipEX2 radio modems, of which we delivered another 66 units to our partner there in September, are contributing to this.

In September we released new FW for RAy3 – 80 GHz. The most interesting of the added features is the possibility of complete Eth switch configuration, which is identical to RAy3 for other bands. In addition, TX mute (possibility to suppress radio transmission) and faster and more powerful ATPC have been implemented. Of course, a few minor bugs have been fixed as well.

Even it’s the holiday season we have some news for you:

Thanks to its data speed of 1.7 Mbps and full duplex operation, the RipEX2 radio modem can be used in applications where you would not expect a radio modem. One such example is the interconnection of base stations of a voice mobile network. Learn more in this case study from New Zealand.

In a new video from our mechanical production, you will see how we manufacture the mechanical parts of our products and what equipment we have for this. In the new hall we built and equipped last year we now have enough capacity for external contractors.

We have also made a new video for you in our SMT center in Blansko so that you can get a better idea of how challenging it is to assemble the boards for our products in first-class quality. Also in Blansko we assemble boards for external customers.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the RipEX2e radio modem, the essential version of our flagship RipEX2, which has been on the market since 2018. Its deployment is expected in less demanding installations that do not utilize all the features of RipEX2.
RipEX2 and RipEX2e are fully compatible and can be combined in one network. We continue to produce the first generation of RipEX, but it is expected that it will be used primarily to extend existing networks.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity and install ‘tomorrow’ gigabit link on unlicensed bands. For staying loyal to us even when we had longer delivery times we are now offering the RAy3-17 and RAy3-24 at discounted prices and short delivery times.
Contact our sales manager or your supplier for details.

In most places in Manhattan, NY, it’s basically impossible to put fiber optic cables underground, so high-speed connectivity is mostly handled wirelessly via microwave links. This leads to extreme utilization of the radio spectrum and enormous interference especially in unlicensed bands such as 24 GHz.
We are honored that RACOM microwave links are making their way here in competition with all the world’s manufacturers. RAy3-24 have found their place here mainly because of their reliability and resistance to interference.

New firmware version 2.0.16.0 for RipEX2 and M!DGE3 has been released. The most interesting new features is full support of GPS (GNSS) mPCIe expansion module. Using this module, it is now possible to synchronize the internal clock and provide unit location information (NMEA, JSON).
In addition, the next Sleep mode functionality has been added and Sleep mode can now be controlled via hardware Sleep Input. Please refer to the RipEX2 and M!DGE3 release notes for details.

RACOM will participate in the IWCE, International Wireless Communications Expo, which will be held March 27-30, 2023 in Las Vegas.
Since 1977, IWCE has been an annual event that brings together experts in critical communications technologies from around the world. Find us at booth #2514, where our Radio modems, Cellular routers and Microwave links will be showcased by our partner Cable AML, which has represented RACOM in the US since 2018.
