Services
Telemetry Receivers
Our telemetry receivers capture and process RF signals from 70 MHz to 5250 MHz, supporting legacy and emerging defense technologies. These systems enable real-time data acquisition for flight testing of aircraft and missiles. Designed for durability and precision, they integrate seamlessly with network controls and data processing workflows.
RF Signal Simulators
RF signal simulators replicate real-world conditions for testing telemetry systems. They validate performance across spectrum-efficient modulation formats and frequency bands. These tools ensure reliability in mission-critical defense applications, from lab environments to field operations.
Software-Defined Receivers
Software-defined receivers offer flexible, programmable solutions for telemetry data processing. They support RF over IP (RFoIP) and telemetry over IP (TMoIP) protocols. These systems enhance adaptability in dynamic testing environments, meeting evolving defense communication standards.
Airborne Digital Transmitters
Airborne transmitters provide high-fidelity data transmission during flight tests. Engineered for extreme conditions, they ensure accurate telemetry from aircraft, missiles, and rockets. Compact designs integrate with onboard systems for real-time monitoring and analysis.
Custom Antennas
Custom antennas optimize signal reception across diverse frequency ranges. Tailored to specific mission requirements, they enhance performance in telemetry, tracking, and re-radiation systems. Durable designs withstand harsh environmental and operational conditions.

Feb 24, 2022 Report
Horrible customer service. Coordinated an install on a washer. Flooded the house and now will not speak with us or call us back. They said that we needed to take pictures and sent them to them. They said they would write a report and have not heard anything since. Horrible service. Never go with this company or home depot for install on ANY appliances. It has been 3 months with no response. I will be filing a compliant with the BBB and others to make sure this company will never ruin another house and not pay.
