Unique Microwave links

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.

RAy3

RAy3, the 3rd generation of RAy, with 1Gb/s FDD for 11, 18 and 24 GHz bands is designed for high performance links with maximum reliability, exceptional system gain and resistance to interference. All relevant state-of-the-art concepts have been carefully implemented without compromise and proven in thousands of installations in dozens of countries from the poles to the equator. Due to its extremely low power consumption, RAy3 can run on solar panels.

​

RAy3-80

RAy3 for 80 GHz band is based on the RAy3 concept for other frequencies, which is proven in the market since 2019. The link has all the latest features including the speed of 10Gb/s FDD and RF Power +20 dBm. Thanks to its cost and ease of installation, it can replace fibre optic cables even in challenging conditions where high speed and availability are required, such as for connecting base stations for 4G and 5G networks.

  • RAyTools is a modern mobile and tablet app for both iOS and Android simplifying planning, deployment and maintenance of RAy links.

  • The latest version of RAyTools is installation technician’s best friend and a result of our continued effort to build upon the success of previous generation of the app.

  • It is available for free on Google Play and Apple store.
     

  • RAy Tools has 3 main features:

  • Antenna Alignment

  • Simple intuitive interface

  • Displays RSS & MSE for both, local and peer unit

  • RSS value enlarged and shown in the center of the display

  • The values are updated 10 times per second and displayed also in real-time plot

  • Acoustic output

  • Voltmeter-free installation

  • Link management

  • Direct access to web interface of connected unit

  • Link calculator

  • The same quality of results as our much-loved website  Calculator

  • Supports all current and previous RAy models and antennas we supply

  • Calculates Fade margin for given GPS coordinates and antennas

  • Next time, leave your heavy gear at home and align antennas and setup the units only using your phone!
