History

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Radwin-HQ.JPG" caption="RADWIN headquarters, [[Ramat HaHayal]], Tel Aviv"] ::

Radwin was founded in 1997 by Sharon Sher. During his military service obligation, he was assigned to a R&D unit where he worked on projects involving telecommunication systems and wireless communications. After receiving a degree in mathematics and physics from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a master's degree in electronic engineering from Tel Aviv University, he founded Radwin in 1997 as a spin-off of RAD Data Communications. The first products were point-to-point radios.

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/RADWIN_unit,_Kennedy_Space_Center.jpg" caption="Kennedy Space Centre]], [[Florida]].]]By 2005, the company had sold its first 10,000 radios, and its products were chosen for one of [[Asia]]'s largest [[WiFi]] backhaul projects, with more than one thousand wireless links. Radwin was selected by [[Indian Railways]] for train-to-track connectivity, and in the same year, the company opened an office in [[India]]."] ::

After the 2004 tsunami, Radwin donated 1,000 wireless broadband units for the reconstruction of Thailand's communications network. They also went on to provide on-site communication systems for rescue teams.

In 2006, the company launched its first point to multipoint products. By 2007 Radwin had sold more than 50,000 units, in over 70 countries, and in 2008, that reached 100,000 units in more than 100 countries.

Radwin was chosen by the UK Ministry of Defence in 2009 to provide a front line digital communications backbone{{Citation | title = Army's £114m battle-comms net not up to Afghan demands | url = https://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/08/cormorant_needs_israeli_help/ | author = Lewis Page | journal = The Register | date = 8 September 2009 | accessdate = 20 November 2014}} to replace the Cormorant Network in the War in Afghanistan. Systems were fitted to front-line vehicles, providing reliable broadband communication in non-line-of-sight conditions.{{Citation | title = MoD withdraws £114m comms system | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8247143.stm | author = Daniel Emery | journal = BBC News | date = 10 September 2009 | accessdate = 16 November 2014}}

In 2010 Radwin was chosen for wireless HD video transmission at NASA launch events taking place at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

In 2013, the company's FiberinMotion was selected and deployed on the Moscow Metro, providing in-tunnel train-to-wayside broadband wireless communication, delivering on-board high-speed (90 Mbit/s) internet for passengers,{{Citation | title = WiFi rolls out on the Moscow Metro | url = http://www.railjournal.com/index.php/metros/wifi-rolls-out-on-the-moscow-metro.html | author = David Briginshaw | journal = International Railway Journal | date = 10 March 2014 | accessdate = 30 March 2014}} and infrastructure for real-time CCTV transmission, passenger information systems and communications-based train control.

The company launched a beamforming point-to-multipoint system in 2015, Radwin 5000 Jet, designed to deliver high capacity in challenging high-interference environments and use congested spectrum more efficiently than traditional systems. Radwin's wireless mobility solution is selected by Bangkok for Gold Line (a first completely automated, mass rapid transit (MRT) system in Bangkok).
