Key Microwave Devices Company Insights

Industry participants mainly focus on new product developments that enable low-cost and high-quality manufacturing. Organizations undertake mergers acquisitions and partnerships for broadening their product offerings across industries. For instance, in March 2023, Communications Power Industries was awarded a contract worth approximately USD 20 million by ARSAT to provide tracking and command, gateway systems, and Ka-band telemetry to support the ARSAT-SG1 satellite. As part of the contract, CPI would provide six 6.3-meter gateway earth station antennas and two 13.2-meter TTC antennas at several sites in Argentina.

Recent Developments

• In January 2023, SWISSto12, a Switzerland-based aerospace company, signed an agreement with Thales, wherein the latter would develop supply Ka-band Solid-State Power Amplifiers, which would become a critical element of the antenna link between SWISSto12’s HummingSat, a geostationary small satellite, and the Earth
• In January 2023, CML Microsystems, Plc, a U.K.-based company, entered into an agreement to acquire Microwave Technology Inc., which designs and manufactures discrete devices, GaN- and GaAs-based MMICs, and hybrid amplifier products for space, defense, commercial wireless communication, and medical applications. The acquisition aims to increase the group's product range, as well as its support and RD capabilities, by providing knowledge and experience in system-level understanding, product manufacturing, and packaging processes
