SWISSto12 opens Madrid facility to support satellite growth
SWISSto12, a manufacturer of advanced satellite and RF systems headquartered in Renens, Switzerland, has announced the opening of a new facility in Madrid, Spain. This office is reported to be near the company’s key industrial partners, suppliers and customers.
The company’s growing Spanish team, comprised of experienced engineers and architects of satellite payloads, antenna technologies and satellite systems, plays an important role in the development of phased array antennas for both satellite payloads and ground terminals, as well as supporting the development and execution of the HummingSat product line.
This latest expansion is said to reflect SWISSto12’s development as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of high-performing and cost-effective RF components, phased-array terminals and full geostationary satellite platforms – such as HummingSat – with market penetration across land, air, maritime, and space.
