SACRAMENTO, Calif. - TelAve -- Patton, a US-manufacturer of industrial networking and communications solutions since 1984, announces the acquisition of Raymar Information Technology, a prominent maker of legacy industrial datacom solutions.  The combined company enables customers, who depend on continued availability of deeply rooted legacy technologies to sustain critical industrial networks.

Raymar was founded in 1982, in California, as "The Computer Exchange" selling and programming the original micro and minicomputers for government and industrial customers, including those made by Microdata Corporation.  McDonnell Douglas acquired Microdata in 1983, forming McDonnell Douglas Information Systems.

During the mid-1980s,  Raymar became established in the Data Communications business as a reseller for leading brands, to facilitate deployment of large industrial multi-site communication networks.  In the late 1990's and into the 2000's, Raymar began acquiring companies and product lines from larger brands who shed off older products to focus on next-generation technologies.
