LONDON, UK: Filtronic Plc, a UK-based company that designs and manufactures products for various markets including aerospace, defense, and telecoms infrastructure, has announced a new contract win with a leading global provider of 5G telecoms infrastructure equipment.

The initial production contract is worth $1.1 million and will facilitate the global launch of a product that extends the range of E-band point-to-point radio by providing an additional 3 decibel-milliwatts of linear output power.

This will increase the line-of-sight transmission distance of an existing outdoor unit within a mobile base station up to 12km.

Filtronic developed the high power module called Morpheus X2 in just six months, using its proprietary next-generation power amplifier chipsets and packaging technology.

The module is enabled from the company’s intellectual property and can be customized to meet the needs of different radio and outdoor unit manufacturers. Richard Gibbs, Filtronic’s CEO, said the company is looking forward to scaling up the manufacture of Morpheus X2 solutions in 2024 and beyond..
