RAy Microwave Link

RAy Microwave Link



RAy is a high-speed point-to-point microwave link, ideal for establishing robust links in the most challenging conditions. 

This Full Outdoor Software Defined Radio with Linux OS, is designed for high performance links with maximum reliability, exceptional system gain and resistance to disturbances. All relevant state-of-the-art concepts have been carefully implemented without compromise.

RAy is well proven within the market since 2009 in thousands of installations in tens of countries from the poles to the equator.

It is used by Internet Service Providers as well as global Telco operators for both, backbone and last-mile microwave links.

RAy3, the 3rd generation of RAy, with possibility of asymmetric channels and 1 Gbps FDD is the top equipment for license free bands.
