Communications Communications CPI provides microwave and radio frequency (RF) amplifiers for video, voice and data transmission via satellite, terrestrial broadcast and over-the-horizon communications applications. The company has a strong track record in both commercial and military communications applications. Applications Satellite Communications: CPI is a leading producer of power amplifiers, amplifier subsystems and high-power microwave/RF devices for satellite uplink ground stations and terminals. The company sells most of these products into the satellite communications (satcom) market. CPI offers one of the industry's most comprehensive lines of satcom amplifiers, with offerings at virtually every frequency and power requirement for both fixed and mobile satellite communications applications in the military and commercial arenas. The company has a strong presence in both the commercial and military sectors. CPI provides TWTAs, KPAs, SSPAs, High Power BUCs and LNAs/LNBs. CPI also provides solid state platforms, modules and bricks, as well as a wide selection of TWTs and klystrons for satellite communications applications. CPI satcom products, including high power BUCs and LNAs/LNBs, are sold primarily into direct-to-home (DTH), military satellite communications, broadcasting, voice/data, maritime and offshore energy applications. CPI provides a wide range of antenna systems for transmit/receive-only applications. CPI’s broad portfolio of antenna products includes earth station antenna systems (ESAs) with aperture sizes up to 16.4 meters and high-quality, cost-effective VSAT products, including fixed terminals, transportable and commercial grade antennas. Terrestrial Broadcast Communications: CPI serves the AM, FM and shortwave radio and VHF and UHF television broadcast market with high-quality, reliable and efficient high-power microwave/RF devices. Through the years, CPI has established a customer base of several thousand customers in the broadcast market for new and rebuilt high-power power grid devices for terrestrial broadcast communications. Over-the-horizon Communications: The over-the-horizon communications market involves over-the-horizon, microwave-based communication systems, for which CPI provides amplifiers, klystrons and TWTs. These systems transmit voice, video and data signals for several hundred miles by bouncing the signals off the troposphere, the lowest atmospheric layer, approximately six miles above the Earth’s surface. Since no satellite is required, these systems can provide an easy-to-install, relocatable and cost-efficient alternative to satellite-based communications. Military satellite communications is the largest user of this application.
