Reference showcase
MR400 is a well proven radio modem, on the market for over a decade and undisputably well established. Tens of thousands of units serve reliably around the world, from the poles to the equator.
MR400 uses a sophisticated anti-collision protocol on the Radio channel. Its unbeatable network performance is boosted by the unique implementation of proprietary SCADA protocols from all significant vendors on the SCADA market.
Thanks to MR400 extraordinary intelligence, speed and switching time, they are suitable for all types of networks where emphasis is placed on speed and reliability, such as SCADA & Telemetry for utility distributions (water, electricity, oil&gas), SmartGrid power networks, Transaction networks like lottery, ATM or POS, mobile networks including mission-critical fleet management and many other applications.

MORSE
MORSE is an advanced communication system based on hardware and software components developed and manufactured by RACOM:
Radio modems MR400,
Products below are obsolete, not under production any more:
GPRS/EDGE/UMTS router MG100i,
Controller MC100,
Router MRouter
Virtual router WALRUS.
MORSE communication system has been originally designed for wireless data transfer using radio channel,
however any transmission medium may be used (IP, GSM…). Because of that, MORSE can be used for all kinds of
applications from point-to-point to extensive hybrid networks.
The MORSE system is ideal for applications requiring frequent transmission of short messages with a minimum response time.
MORSE excels over other similar communication systems in its method of
implementation and the range of protocols offered on the user interface of MR400
radio modems and MG100 GPRS modems. There are 77 standard and company protocols
available and the implementation of others is pending upon requests from
users.

Utillities
A comprehensive set of diagnostics and configuration tools for the MORSE network. These
tools allow users to configure, diagnose and test individual components as well as whole networks,
both locally and remotely. They are available free of charge at www.racom.eu, for both Windows and Linux OS.

RANEC
RANEC is a comprehensive, modular package of HW and SW designed not only for managing and diagnosing MORSE networks, but also for their design, development and servicing:
RanecBase is a set of programs which allow users to operate a conventional Network Management Centre on the MORSE network, e.g.:
RanecAdvanced is an auxiliary module to RanecBase designed for advanced MORSE network users, particularly RACOM partners. This module integrates tools for:
RanecClient is graphical client for managing RanecBase and RanecAdvanced, and for displaying the data provided by these modules. In a LAN environment an unlimited number of RanecClients can be started simultaneously to one RanecBase or RanecAdvanced. RanecClient is supplied for OS Windows and Linux.
MServer is a server supplied for MORSE networks. Among others all programs from the RANEC package
run on it. OS Linux and MySQL database form its base. In case when the server runs on MS Windows,
all packages can be installed in a virtual machine like (e.g. VMware).
MRemote is a remote access module for the MORSE network. It can be run within the RANEC package and can be used
for remote access to a MServer as well as other RACOM devices in MORSE networks. MRemote can be
implemented according to specific customer situations and wishes.
RANEC is not available for new deliveries.
