RACOM Newsletter 03/2021

We would like to share our latest news with you.

MR400, an older generation of RACOM radio modems produced since 2005 is nearing its end-of-life. It is time to upgrade SCADA networks where they are used.

Join us at our Webinar on 22nd April 2021 to learn how to upgrade your legacy network smoothly to incorporate our most recent radio modem RipEX2.

RAy2-17 and RAy2-24 for 17 and 24 GHz bands are no longer in production; there are limited numbers of RAy2-24 units in stock. RAy2-17 and RAy2-24 have been fully replaced by RAy3-17 and RAy3-24 which have better technical parameters. RAy2 support, warranty and post warranty services continue without restriction.

Production of RAy2-10, RAy2-11 and RAy2-18 carries on without changes.

RAy3-X and RipEX2-X, the versions with a processor containing HW encryption option, no longer bring any benefits. The manufacturer of the processor discontinued support for the HW accelerator for AES encryption. There is now no difference between ‘X’ and ‘E’ versions; the accelerator in the ‘X’ version can no longer be used; both versions are using the same SW encryption.

RAy3-X production has already stopped and RipEX2-X will follow soon.

It may happen that even if you order ‘X’ version, you will receive ‘E’ and vice versa dependent on current availability in our stock.

Despite Covid restrictions we retain normal production and other services without any outages. All incoming orders are processed within standard delivery times. Technical Support is fully operational, albeit remotely. Wherever possible, home office has been the preferred option and online meetings are used.

All staff working in RACOM premises must pass a Covid test every week and testing is also mandatory for all persons who enter RACOM. FFP2 masks must be worn everywhere within RACOM premises.

RACOM continues to provide special conditions for the supply of Microwave links to Internet providers to increase capacity in their networks at this time when the majority of the population are working from home offices and students learning remotely.

We believe that the world will return to normal soon. Stay safe!
