The satellite communications system is designed to significantly improve communications for mobile U.S. forces. Merrimac was selected based on the company's ability to provide dividing and combining devices that are able to handle very high RF power, provide very low insertion loss, and are contained within a caseless fusion bonded assembly. The program significantly improves communications for warfighters while maintaining backward compatibility to the existing communications systems for the U.S. Department of Defense.
Chairman and CEO Mason N. Carter commented, "We are delighted that our Multi-Mix solution will assist in enhancing the communications systems with improved connectivity. We are proud of our role and contributions to the satellite program by improving ubiquitous voice, video and data to warfighters on the ground, in the air, and on the seas."
Merrimac Industries, Inc. is a leader in the design and manufacture of RF Microwave signal processing components, subsystem assemblies, and Multi-Mix micro-multifunction modules (MMFM), for the worldwide defense, satellite communications (Satcom), commercial wireless and homeland security market segments.
