Raveon Wireless Modems are Reliable and Secure.
Features and functions are embedded in the modem’s CPU. It is an efficient ARM SMT processor with Raveon’s efficient OS. Software is completely protected. No remote access to software, and no traditional operating.
Raveon created hardware and software in these radios, and no common Operating system is used, so no common software can be put in the radio. Hackers cannot load their software!
The over-air wireless communication protocol is unique and reliable. Bad data does not ever come out of the radio. AES encryption over-air can be turned on so other Raveon modems cannot talk to your Raveon modems.
Raveon’s Engineering team is always happing and willing to make custom radio modems for your system the way you want it to work in a custom way.
Please contact Raveon’s sales team to connect with Engineering and get a perfect radio designed and built here in America for you. Custom radios can save costs and labor in your system.

Cigorn Wireless Gateway
Raveon’s Cigorn Gateway is an easy to manage gateway/router. It is simple to deploy, data centric, and very bandwidth efficient. It dynamically assigns wireless bandwidth to operate even when 100% of the subscriber devices need to communicate. It provides a single interface to a wide-area network of radio modems.
Cigorn is optimized for applications such as meter-reading, utility-monitoring, and GPS tracking. The Cigorn Gateway is built using powerful computing hardware, feature-rich software, and sophisticated communication protocols. But because Giga-bytes of RAM are cheap, GHz processors are cheap, and Open Source Linux software is free and reliable, the Cigorn Gatway is more sophisticated than comparable systems, and yet costs very little to deploy.
Use Cigorn Gateways to consolidate all your wireless interfaces, modems, protocols, and links into one manageable device.

This is a RTU and has many more IIoT and wireless features and autonomous features than most traditional RTUs.
RAZN devices can mesh hundreds together to create complete Remote Networks to control thousands of things.
Meshing RAZN to create your Smart Remote Network
The RAZNs can Mesh Together. Control thousands of millions of things.
Your Master talks to one, and the RAZN then meshes to as many as you would like.
Using narrow band Wireless Data Modems to mesh the network saves cost and covers 100+ square miles.
The Wireless Data Modems are an internal option to the Remote Autonomous Zone Node (RAZN) SCADA RTU
The internal Real Time Clock timer is accurate and hand specify as precisely at a day, hour, minute, and second to activate. To create a New Network Event with TOAA technology using MODBUS commands see Creating Modbus Master Events.
The RAZN communicates via Ethernet, RS-485, or Wireless data radios.
There are many different versions available with many different IO interfaces for a myriad of IO features.
The RAZN Web Page shows all the versions available for your system. There are many versions available now.
Raveon also likes to create custom versions for industries the way you would like a custom version designed.
The MODBUS communication protocol can be sued to communicate with the RAZNs.
And they can also mesh together with RS-485 wires or wireless data modems.
Data radio modems in VHF and UHF bands are available, and a license free ISM band modem can be used in the RAZN also.
