Renens, Switzerland, August 8th, 2024 // SWISSto12, one of the world’s fastest-growing satellite and Radio Frequency (RF) products manufacturers has been awarded a USD 10 million contract to provide a European aeronautical OEM with equipment for improved safety at sea. This news follows recent announcement by SWISSto12 of RF antennas supplied to Northrop Grumman for a communication satellite application.
SWISSto12 offers a broad portfolio of antenna systems, leveraging the company’s innovative designs and proprietary 3D printing technology to deliver next-generation RF communication and sensing products qualified for maritime, airborne and ground applications.
SWISSto12 has the world’s largest IP portfolio in the use of 3D printing for RF product applications. The company’s RF products are lightweight, compact, robust and offer industry-leading performance that is ideal for applications in demanding environments such as at sea.
