RAy24 Enables High-Capacity Migration

How do you maintain service quality when the 5 GHz band becomes saturated – and business customers expect higher SLAs than ever? ZNET Telekom turned to RAy24.

Founded in 2002, ZNET Telekom has grown into Hungary’s largest wireless ISP. While their roots lie in residential connectivity, the company is now rapidly expanding its B2B services. Commercial clients demand higher reliability, lower latency and consistent performance – pushing ZNET to rethink its network strategy.

Like many WISPs worldwide, ZNET faced the growing problem of 5 GHz band saturation, resulting in:

• Reduced capacity
• Unstable links
• Higher latency
• Inconsistent customer experience

To continue scaling – especially for business customers – ZNET needed a reliable microwave solution that would outperform 5 GHz links and remain easy to deploy and manage.

After evaluating several microwave platforms, ZNET selected RAy 24 GHz for both new deployments and migration from 5 GHz.

Key reasons behind the choice:

• Very low power consumption
• High resilience in dense urban and rural environments
• Best-in-class management software
• Long warranty and lifecycle stability
• Identical hardware for upper and lower units – simplifying logistics and maintenance
• Excellent cost–performance ratio

ZNET is deploying RAy 24 GHz unlicensed links:

• Up to 5 km with 68 cm antennas
• Up to 10 km with 90 cm antennas

The installations have been smooth with zero issues during setup or commissioning.

ZNET’s experience with RAy 24 GHz has been overwhelmingly positive:

• Consistent performance even at long distances
• Easy network management and straightforward deployment
• Improved customer satisfaction thanks to more stable links
• A platform ready for future growth and licensed RAy variants

RAy solutions have become an integral part of ZNET Telekom’s success – delivering strong value to customers every single day.
