Filtronic Secures Order For Satellite Payload Assemblies

Proven filter and diplexer heritage supports LEO constellation expansion

Filtronic, a leader in high-frequency RF solutions for space applications has secured a contract, with a leading European aerospace manufacturer, to supply RF assemblies for integration into a major Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation programme. The contract, valued in excess of €7M, represents a significant commitment to be delivered over the next three years.

These complex assemblies, designed and manufactured in-house by Filtronic are engineered to withstand the demanding conditions of the space environment at low Earth orbit, delivering high-reliability performance across a wide range of communication applications.

“This contract highlights the 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 at Filtronic. “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.”

Manufacturing will take place at Filtronic’s state-of-the-art facilities in the North East of England. The award reinforces Filtronic’s position at the forefront of RF and mmWave innovation and deepens its partnership with a key European customer, marking further business in the rapidly growing LEO constellation sector.
