Overview
Radwin is an Israeli wireless communications manufacturing company and a member of the RAD Group. Founded in 1997 by Sharon Sher as a spin-off of RAD Data Communications, the company began by developing point-to-point wireless radio systems. Its business has since expanded into carrier and enterprise connectivity, wireless broadband access, mobile and IP backhaul, private networks, video-surveillance transmission, and specialized mobility systems for transportation and industrial environments. The company serves a varied customer base that includes telecommunications carriers, internet service providers, wireless internet service providers, municipalities, city and town councils, remote communities, transport operators, and private-network owners. Its equipment is designed for situations in which wired infrastructure is expensive, slow to deploy, physically inaccessible, or unsuitable for moving assets. Applications described for Radwin systems include fixed broadband access, cellular and IP backhaul, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connectivity, and high-capacity links for video and operational data. Transportation has been an important area of differentiation. Radwin systems have been used or developed for metro and rail networks, buses, ferries, airports, patrol vehicles, and heavy machinery operating in mines and ports. The company’s FiberinMotion technology was selected for the Moscow Metro to provide train-to-wayside communication, passenger internet access, closed-circuit television transmission, passenger information, and communications-based train-control support. This reflects Radwin’s positioning beyond conventional fixed wireless access: its products are intended to maintain connectivity among moving vehicles, infrastructure, control centers, and passengers. Radwin’s development history is closely associated with the growth of wireless broadband and the demand for reliable connectivity in difficult radio and geographical conditions. It reported reaching its first 10,000 radios by 2005, more than 50,000 units sold in over 70 countries by 2007, and more than 100,000 units in over 100 countries by 2008. The company also broadened its portfolio from point-to-point systems to point-to-multipoint products in 2006 and later introduced beamforming technology for high-capacity point-to-multipoint deployments in congested spectrum. Its projects have included public-sector, defense, emergency-response, transport, space-event, and smart-city uses. In 2009 the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence selected Radwin systems for a digital communications backbone in Afghanistan, where equipment was installed on frontline vehicles and required to operate in non-line-of-sight conditions. In 2010 Radwin equipment was used for high-definition video transmission at NASA launch events at Kennedy Space Center. In India, the company participated in a Smart City initiative through a 2016 partnership with Avaya. Radwin also supplied wireless equipment for communications reconstruction in Thailand after the 2004 tsunami. Radwin is headquartered in Tel Aviv and has maintained regional representation across multiple markets in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The available reference material does not identify a public listing, a current chief executive, a current owner separate from its RAD Group affiliation, or a company website. Its overall market proposition is specialized, infrastructure-oriented wireless connectivity rather than a consumer electronics brand.
History
Radwin was established in 1997 by Sharon Sher as a spin-off of RAD Data Communications. Sher’s earlier military service placed him in a research-and-development unit working on telecommunications and wireless communications projects. After studying mathematics and physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and electronic engineering at Tel Aviv University, he founded Radwin within the broader RAD Group ecosystem. The company’s initial products were point-to-point wireless radios, aimed at delivering connectivity where conventional wired deployment was impractical. The business gained early traction in the expansion of wireless broadband and Wi-Fi backhaul. By 2005, Radwin had sold its first 10,000 radios. Its equipment was selected for a major Asian Wi-Fi backhaul project with more than 1,000 wireless links, and Indian Railways selected the company for train-to-track connectivity. Radwin also opened an office in India during that period, strengthening its presence in one of the world’s largest and most geographically varied communications markets. The company’s activities during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami demonstrated another use of its technology. Radwin donated 1,000 wireless broadband units for the reconstruction of Thailand’s communications network and supplied communications systems for rescue personnel. This type of deployment illustrated the value of rapidly installable wireless infrastructure in areas where fixed networks had been damaged or were unavailable. In 2006 Radwin expanded its product range with point-to-multipoint systems. This broadened the company’s potential applications from dedicated links between two locations to network architectures serving multiple endpoints, including broadband access and distributed institutional or municipal sites. By 2007, the company stated that it had sold more than 50,000 units in over 70 countries. In 2008, its reported installed base exceeded 100,000 units across more than 100 countries. Radwin subsequently developed a strong transportation and mission-critical communications focus. In 2009 the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence selected its equipment for a frontline digital communications backbone in Afghanistan, replacing the Cormorant Network. Systems were installed on frontline vehicles and had to support dependable broadband communication in non-line-of-sight conditions. In 2010 Radwin technology was used to transmit high-definition wireless video at NASA launch events held at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A major transportation milestone came in 2013, when Radwin’s FiberinMotion technology was selected and deployed on the Moscow Metro. The system provided wireless train-to-wayside connectivity within tunnels and supported high-speed onboard internet, real-time CCTV transmission, passenger information, and communications-based train control. The project positioned Radwin as a supplier not only of fixed wireless access but also of connectivity infrastructure for moving vehicles and complex transport environments. In 2015 the company launched the Radwin 5000 Jet point-to-multipoint system. Its beamforming design was intended to improve capacity and spectrum efficiency in environments affected by interference and congestion. The company also expanded its transport presence through selection of its wireless mobility solution for Bangkok’s Gold Line, described in the reference material as Bangkok’s first completely automated mass rapid transit system. In 2016 Radwin partnered with Avaya as part of India’s Smart City initiative, linking its wireless infrastructure capabilities with a broader urban-communications program. In 2017 FiberinMotion received the Passenger Innovation of the Year award at the SmartRail Europe Innovation Awards. Radwin’s operating footprint has included regional offices or representation in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, with locations identified in Brazil, El Salvador, China, Colombia, Poland, India, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Russia, Spain, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The available material does not establish a later ownership transaction, public listing, current leadership team, or current corporate website. Radwin remains identified as an active Israeli wireless communications company and a member of the RAD Group.
