The RA7 Secure Voice & Data Modem is a secure voice and data modem designed to provide secure voice, data and position services, ensuring reliable communication in robust environments. It seamlessly integrates with any HF or V/UHF radio via the audio interface, making it suitable for installation in a 19-inch rack in control rooms or ships.

Powered by RapidM's world-class embedded modem module, the RA7 provides high-performance data waveforms that reliably transmit sensitive information, such as target position coordinates, even in environments with high radio spectrum or extremely weak radio signals. To counter the threat of eavesdropping in radio communications, all over-the-air communications, locally stored messages, and positions are encrypted with built-in AES encryption. For added security, users can easily erase all user information and cryptographic keys with the zeroise function by pressing two designated keys simultaneously.

Additionally, the RA7 offers a secure digital voice (SDV) solution through its low-rate vocoder, with dynamic vocoder rate adaptation to ensure optimal audio quality across all channels. It supports both broadcast and private line selective call modes, along with automatic late entry for seamless communication. This unit automatically switches to 'Voice Mode' when the PTT is pressed or a voice call is initiated, resuming data transmission once voice communications are inactive, as indicated by an icon on the user interface.

For extended connectivity, the RA7 provides end-to-end email (with attachments) and GSM SMS connectivity through MessagePoint or GatePoint software via the local Ethernet port. The RA7 also enhances situational awareness by interoperating with other RA devices, including the RA5 for mobile use. It supports including position information with each chat transmission and periodic transmission configurations, all while sharing a unified key management system.

Operators can use the RA7 both locally and remotely. For local use, the operator connects a handset to the RA7 front panel, utilising the built-in address book to initiate private line calls or send locally entered messages or files. For remote operation, the operator connects audio input via the intercom connector and controls the RA7 using MessagePoint, GatePoint, or TrackPoint software.

Whether deployed in control rooms, ships, or remote locations, the RA7’s robust features and seamless integration with existing radio systems make the RA7 a trusted choice for mission-critical operations.
