Quick Information
RAy is a high-speed p-t-p microwave link platform suitable for links in the most challenging conditions. It is used by Internet Service Providers as well as global Telco operators for both backbone and last-mile connections.
RAy is a high-speed, industrial-grade, point-to-point microwave link. Thanks to its exceptional resistance to interference, RAy provides the most stable links even on busy sites. A Full Outdoor Radio, it is ideal where high-performance links with maximum reliability are required. Designed with attention to detail and implementing all relevant state-of-the-art concepts, this high-quality microwave link provides excellent performance characteristics. RAy has been on the market since 2009 and is used in thousands of installations from the poles to the equator. RAy3, the 3rd generation of RAy, was released in 2019, setting a new standard and providing significant improvements in data speed and security features with up to 1 Gbps FDD available. Using RAy’s option of asymmetric channels, the user can maximize spectrum availability making RAy3 a leading choice for license-free bands.

Performance
RAy is renowned for its ability to work in challenging conditions, offering the highest network throughput in any environment. Our in-house development team excels in developing units that provide market-leading resistance to interference. Thanks to narrow channels, RAy provides high-speed links over extreme distances and can also be used when only a limited spectrum is available.
Reliability
RAy comes with a rugged die-cast aluminum case and only uses heavy-duty industrial components. Every single unit is fully tested in our own climatic chamber and in a real data traffic environment. Exceptional electrostatic surge protection provides just one more feature built into RAy that further establishes our reputation for outstanding reliability which is at the heart of RACOM’s overall philosophy and has an enviable reputation in the market.
Asymmetric channels
This advanced technology allows RAy to optimize the spectrum available. In addition, RAy’s built-in Spectrum analyzer allows the user to identify and maximize free channel availability, especially useful for
free band applications. Standard microwave links can only use the same bandwidth and data speed in both directions. RAy offers the option of different bandwidths and different data speeds in each direction allowing RAy to make full use of the available spectrum. On a busy site, this could make the difference between a microwave link being installed or not. With RAy3, multiple links can be deployed from the same site because of the asymmetric channel flexibility

RAy is used by Internet Service Providers as well as global Telco operators for both backbone and last-mile microwave links. With its exceptional resistance to interference, it is particularly effective on busy sites. It is also commonly used in backbone applications. RAy was specifically selected from a number of microwave radios to deliver reliable service over an 18km distance and hilly terrain, providing a reliable communication link for the UAE General civil aviation authority. RAy also provides connectivity for an island-wide National Disaster-Emergency Two-Way Mobile Communication System for the Jamaican government. Such applications are only possible because of the suitability of RAy in challenging conditions, exceptional sensitivity permitting links over long distances, and the heavy-duty industrial build of RAy producing extremely high levels of reliability.
