FILTRONIC has won two contracts worth a total of £1.3 million for its products.

The Yeadon-based firm says the two advanced mmWave design and development contracts have strategic importance to its development and its technology roadmap.

The first contract with a full value of $1m, from a leading RF equipment company in the USA, covers the design, development and delivery of high-performance, mmWave modules for incorporation within their next generation over-the-air equipment.

The other contract, agreed with a leading High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite solution provider in the USA, covers the design, development and delivery of next generation, high-performance transceiver modules. The full contract value approaches $600,000.

Executive chairman Reg Gott said: “We are delighted to have been chosen to deliver these technically challenging projects.

"It is another fantastic endorsement of our engineering and manufacturing capability and emphasises our position as a leading global player in the rapidly growing mmWave equipment market."
