With the implementation of ACM (Adaptive Coding and Modulation), RipEX reinforces its position as the technological leader in radio modem performance. This innovation brings together maximum speed, reliability, and fully automatic operation, taking RipEX network performance to an entirely new level.

Maximum Throughput in Every Situation
ACM continuously monitors radio link quality and dynamically adjusts modulation and coding in real time. When the signal is strong, the system automatically switches to a higher modulation (e.g., 64QAM or 256QAM) to maximize data rate and network throughput. If conditions worsen, ACM instantly reduces the modulation level to maintain link stability and reliability.
Easier Installation – No Compromise Needed
ACM fully automates the configuration of the radio channel. Users no longer need to decide which modulation to use — RipEX adapts automatically. This greatly simplifies installation and network management, especially in environments where conditions can change due to weather, interference, or distance. Thanks to ACM, RipEX automatically achieves the highest possible throughput under all conditions, proven by both laboratory tests and real-world installations.
Greatest Benefit: P-t-P Full-Duplex Links
RipEX can use ACM in all network types – point-to-multipoint as well as point-to-point. However, the greatest benefit appears in P-t-P full-duplex links, where speed is crucial. RipEX reacts instantly to signal changes in both directions independently and always selects the optimal modulation and FEC combination. This maximizes bidirectional throughput and ensures that communication remains fast, stable, and uninterrupted even under varying conditions.
With the upgrade to FW 2.2.6.0 and ACM activation, link reliability will further improve in existing installations in New Zealand and Brazil. Both projects demonstrate that RipEX delivers reliable, high-performance data and voice transmission over long radio links, even where signal quality fluctuates.
Key Advantages of ACM in RipEX
- Maximum speed and throughput in every situation
- Reliable operation even under fluctuating conditions
- Automatic optimization with no manual tuning
- Simplified installation and maintenance
ACM – An Intelligent, Self-Optimizing Network
ACM turns RipEX into a self-optimizing radio system that constantly adapts to real-world conditions.
Its behavior resembles a living organism – it observes, reacts, learns, and maintains the network in perfect balance.
ACM takes RipEX even further, ensuring it always operates at the edge of its capabilities: fast, stable, and without the need for technician intervention.
