Custom Components for Communication Systems

RF & Microwave Housings

We CNC machine intricate housings from aluminum for RF filters, amplifiers, and transceivers, often requiring features for EMI shielding and thermal management.

Antenna Components

We manufacture structural components, mounts, and radomes for antenna systems used in cellular base stations and satellite communications.

Fiber Optic Connectors

We can machine high-precision components for fiber optic connectors and transceivers, where holding very tight tolerances is critical for proper alignment and signal integrity.

Key Manufacturing Capabilities

CNC Machining: Our core service for telecom. We machine complex aluminum housings with thin walls and pockets, and can achieve the tight tolerances required for RF and optical components.
Die Casting: For very high-volume components like antenna brackets or connector bodies, die casting aluminum provides a cost-effective production solution.
Thermal Management: We manufacture custom heat sinks and conduct-a-pads to dissipate heat from high-power amplifiers and processors found in telecom equipment.
Finishing: We offer finishes critical to the telecom industry, such as chromate conversion coating for corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, and durable powder coating for outdoor enclosures.

Telecom Manufacturing FAQ

What is EMI shielding and how do you achieve it?

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding prevents electronic noise from interfering with sensitive circuits. For metal enclosures, ensuring good electrical conductivity between all parts of the assembly (by masking contact points before anodizing) creates a natural shield. For plastic enclosures, we can apply a special conductive paint or coating to the interior surfaces.

What is the best material for an outdoor telecom enclosure?

Die-cast or machined aluminum with a durable powder coat finish is the industry standard. It provides excellent corrosion resistance, UV stability, and good thermal conductivity to help dissipate heat.
