Filtronic plc (LON:FTC), the designer and manufacturer of advanced RF solutions for the space, aerospace and defence, and telecoms infrastructure markets, has announced that it has secured a contract with a leading European aerospace manufacturer, to supply RF assemblies for integration into a major Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation programme.
The contract, valued in excess of €7 million, represents a significant commitment to be delivered over the next three years.
These complex assemblies, produced in house by Filtronic, are engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of the space environment at LEO, delivering high-reliability performance across a wide range of communication applications.
The contract demonstrates Filtronic’s technical expertise and position at the forefront of RF and mmWave innovation and deepens the Company’s engagement with a relatively new customer, marking further business with another major LEO constellation.
Nat Edington, Chief Executive Officer, said: “This contract highlights our increasing diversification across customers within the space markets and reflects the trust placed in Filtronic’s capability to deliver at scale for the most demanding space applications. As demand for satellite connectivity continues to grow, this is another milestone in Filtronic’s mission to support the growing satellite market for Non-Terrestrial Networks, Mobile Satellite Services, and Direct-to-Device connectivity.”
