Filtronic plc has landed a €7 million contract to supply RF assemblies for a major Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation programme.
The three-year deal with a leading European aerospace manufacturer marks another milestone for the UK-based RF solutions specialist after announcing a string of new wins this year, including several with Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
Filtronic will produce complex RF assemblies in-house, specifically designed for the harsh conditions of the space environment.
The LEO satellite constellation market is experiencing rapid growth as companies race to provide global broadband coverage. Multiple operators are launching thousands of satellites to create these constellations, creating substantial opportunities for specialised suppliers like Filtronic.
“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,” said Nat Edington, Chief Executive Officer.
“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.”
