History
RAD was founded by brothers Yehuda and Zohar Zisapel in 1981, as a spin-off from Bynet, a Networking hardware distribution company founded by Yehuda in 1973. Their goal was to develop their own products; the company was simply named RAD, for Research And Development.
RAD first successful product was a miniature (by 1980s standards) computer modem. The product quickly became a commercial success, and by 1985, RAD annual revenues reached $5.5 million USD. This initial product line has evolved into RAD Data Communications, the largest company within the RAD Group.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”
—Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
