California Microwave applies its expertise in microwave technologies to systems and products for the satellite communications, wireless and intelligence systems markets. We provide total solutions for wireless communications infrastructure rather than consumer terminals and equipment. For technical specifications, you may visit our divisions' websites.

SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS

California Microwave is a leader in the design of satellite earth station products, such as modems and frequency converters, which are incorporated into earth stations.The company's line of digital and analog earth station equipment provides point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transmission of voice, data, facsimile and video.

Satellite Earth Station Products. Through its Satellite Communications Division, EFData division, California Microwave manufactures a broad line of electronic products used in earth stations. Efdata is a leading producer of high speed (up to 155 million bits per second) digital modems, RF transceivers and frequency converters used in satellite transmission networks. Since 1988, EFData has delivered more than 50,000 satellite modems, RF transceivers and frequency converters for use in INTELSAT systems, satellite backup facilities for undersea fiber optic cable, digital video and for many private network applications. EFData also manufactures a completely self-contained earth station electronics package for low-cost rural and infrastructure networks.

Satellite Teleport Services. The company, through its Services Division, provides both data broadcast and interactive data, video, fax, voice and internet access services to corporations and government agencies worldwide. Services division also provides satellite ground equipment to teleport customers.

Turnkey Satellite Earth Stations. The company, through its Government Communications Systems operation, designs, integrates, manufactures and installs worldwide fixed, transportable and fly-away earth stations in single-, dual- and tri-band configurations.

TERRESTRIAL WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

California Microwave designs, manufactures and markets digital and analog microwave radios and other equipment used in land-based point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communications links. Our radios are used for

private voice and data communications networks
portable electronic news gathering and studio-to-transmitter links.

We continue to meet global requirements with a complete line of microwave radios meeting International and North American standards. Our high performance digital and analog microwave radios operate in the 0.45, 0.9, 1.4, 2, 2.4, 13, 15, 18, 23 and 25 GHz frequency ranges at data rates from 9.6 kbps to 155 Mbps. The newly formed Terrestrial Wireless Division consists of Microwave Data Systems and Microwave Radio Communications, who are fully ISO-9001 certified.

INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS

California Microwave integrates electronic and electro-optical systems for both airborne and ground-based applications. These systems collect, process and disseminate intelligence and reconnaissance information using advanced radio communications hardware and both special-purpose and off-the-shelf computers and software. We have developed a series of products with secure, portable, ruggedized suitcase-sized packaging that incorporate key intelligence information collection, processing and analysis capabilities contained in its larger systems.

California Microwave also designs and develops state-of-the-art multisensor imaging systems and sophisticated electronic intelligence collection systems which it integrates into inexpensive commercial aircraft.

The company's Terrestrial Wireless Division's transportable tactical microwave radios are gaining rapid acceptance for military communications applications.
