Communication equipment used in the energy sector must meet the highest standards of security and reliability. RACOM has proven its ability to meet these demands in real-world operation for decades. Today, our devices are deployed in thousands of installations across dozens of countries on every continent, and the majority of the radio modems and cellular routers we manufacture are used in the energy sector.
Power & Energy
Communication equipment used in the energy sector must meet the highest standards of security and reliability. RACOM has proven its ability to meet these demands in real-world operation for decades. Today, our devices are deployed in thousands of installations across dozens of countries on every continent, and the majority of the radio modems and cellular routers we manufacture are used in the energy sector.
Applications
Our products meet the strict standards required for communication equipment in the energy industry. Thanks to outstanding technical performance and the high level of technical support provided by RACOM, they are deployed across a wide range of applications throughout the entire energy infrastructure.
The largest number of deployments is found in distribution networks, typically supporting SCADA systems used to control disconnectors and substations. Our solutions are also used for smart metering connectivity and the management of renewable energy sources.
SCADA in Distribution Networks
- Monitoring and management of substations and power lines
- Real-time control and alarm signalling
- Hybrid networks – VHF/UHF radio combined with LTE
- Maximum security through encryption and private frequency bands
Project examples
Backbone of Mexico’s Nationwide SCADA Network
Duplex Communication Links
- Non-line-of-sight radio links
- Full-duplex operation for high data volumes
- Interconnection of critical substations
- Installation in standard 19-inch rack cabinets
Project examples

Our Expertise in the Energy Sector
RACOM has been delivering communication solutions for the energy industry for more than twenty years, becoming one of the global leaders in this segment. Leading energy companies on every continent rely on our radio modems and cellular routers. Our largest deployment is in Mexico, where more than 10,000 radio modems are installed in the CFE distribution network.
Through this experience, we deeply understand the communication requirements of the energy sector, where any failure can have serious consequences.
With outstanding RF performance, rugged hardware and advanced networking capabilities such as dynamic routing and QoS, RACOM networks support both legacy SCADA systems and modern IP-based architectures. Full in-house development ensures long product lifecycles, consistent behaviour and immediate expert support.
From distribution automation to national transmission networks, RACOM delivers communication systems you can safely build your infrastructure on.
