1 Local Area Networks (LAN)

2 High-class networks Communications networks have brought about permanent changes to our world. The thing that remains constant, though, is our desire for the best, most reliable way to exchange information with each other. This is an area where R&M is making a key contribution. We have set as our goal the development of the most advanced cabling technology for public and private networks. As an independent Swiss family-owned company, we stand by our roots. These are: quality and precision, efficiency and reliability, innovation and sustainability, and long-term collaborations in close partnerships. Everything began with the invention of the easy-to-install telephone outlet. With this, Hans Reichle and Renato De-Massari in 1964 laid the cornerstone for their company Reichle & De-Massari AG (R&M). Today R&M is an internationally recognized total supplier of passive distribution and connection technology for all levels of cable, telecom, broadband and data networks. Our Swiss mindset of always providing top quality has a number of implications for your infrastructure: 100% long-term operational reliability, the lowest latency and zero loss of data, simple installation and fast maintenance, plus economic systems that hold their value year after year. R&M supports network operators with systems that stand out due to their consistent modular design, cost-effective fast installation technology, extensive functionality and their high level of adaptability. See for yourself!

3 Continuity and customer focus Well-known public and private operators of data and communications networks have been placing their trust in R&M s expertise for decades. Their trust is based on our sophisticated, powerful cabling solutions and the unceasing support we provide to our customers. The way R&M conducts business is based on the founding values of this family-owned company with its rich tradition. With a high sense of responsibility and a clear focus on customers needs, R&M takes the development of its business, respect for the environment and the implications of technical advances into equal consideration. Users want cabling systems plus connection and distribution technology they can fully rely on for decades. These elements form the foundation of all communications networks. To continually improve these systems, R&M operates an international innovation center in which it makes above-average investments in research and development. R&M expands upon its emphasis on quality, durability, convenience and precision with a farsighted system design which helps R&M installations maintain their value over the long haul. These features also support future applications and can be flexibly expanded or adapted to new market conditions. For network operators this means they can plan for the long term, they remain flexible and successful year after year, and they can always rely on their cabling systems.
