Busy on the Road

RipEX Radio modems and M!DGE Cellular routers are widely used in the Middle East. After winning several tenders in Egypt for communication in power distribution networks in 2023, we joined the Intelligent Cities Exhibition and Conference in Cairo. At the booth of our partner Xceltra we were represented by David Marek, Sales Director and Muhammad Syed, Sales Manager for the Middle East. David also delivered the presentation “Next Generation IP Radio Modems” at the conference. Alongside meetings with current clients, we launched several new projects across Egypt and other countries in the MENA region.

In addition to RipEX Radio modems and M!DGE Cellular routers, our RAy Microwave links are also gaining momentum in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries. At INTERSEC in Riyadh, we showcased RAy links with our partner Xtream from Dubai. There was considerable interest in RAy, despite the licensing requirements in Saudi Arabia for all frequencies, including 80 GHz. We expect further growth in KSA in addition to UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Lebanon and Iraq.

SNIR is an organization of companies that install, integrate and provide professional radio communication solutions. SNIR represents them towards public authorities, including radio spectrum regulator. Our French partner EBDS represented us at SNIR’s annual meeting and showcased our RipEX Radio modems and M!DGE Cellular routers at its booth. The presentation was met with great interest. The event generated great interest, and we connected with several new, highly qualified partners for integration and installation in France.

Advantec, our long-term partner in Italy, annually organizes a customer meeting. This year it took place in the beautiful surroundings of Lake Maggiore in Baveno. This event allows Advantec’s partner manufacturers to showcase their products and the opportunity to personally meet Advantec’s customers. We were represented at the event by Pavel Nešpor, Sales Manager responsible for Italy and David Marek, Sales Director. They had a number of meetings with existing and potential customers and we believe that more will soon be added to the thousand or so radio modems running in Italy.

VAE Controls is one of the most used suppliers of SCADA systems for the water industry in the Czechia. Many of our MR25 and MR400 Radio modems are still working without any problems for over 30 years in their systems. However, they are now morally and especially security-wise obsolete and will be replaced by the latest RipEX2 and M!DGE3. We welcomed the opportunity to join a VAE Controls customer meeting and training session attended by more than 15 water companies from the Czechia. Our migration solution, which allows a gradual and trouble-free replacement of the existing radio network regardless of the technology used, received a very positive response. Participants also appreciated the opportunity to discuss with colleagues who have already implemented our migration in practice.
