On October 12, 2017, API Technologies, provider of RF and microwave signal conditioning and electromagnetic spectrum management solutions, announced that it has entered into a collaboration arrangement with Analog Devices (ADI), an analog technology company. Using API's U.K.-based facilities, the parties will collaborate on the production of custom electronic modules and assemblies. This alliance is designed to permit ADI's wide range of high performance integrated circuit (IC) and high speed digital signal processing technology to integrate with API's value-added engineering services, footprint reduction and miniaturization technologies, and in-house production, manufacturing and testing capabilities to allow API to deliver a U.K.-designed and manufactured, integrated high performance solution directly to U.K. and European customers to support their custom aerospace and defense, mission critical requirements.
In order to reduce time to market, API and ADI sales forces plan to cooperatively identify and direct to API those U.K. and European aerospace and defense customers who are seeking a solution that integrates ADI's proprietary semiconductor and IC technologies within a custom-designed API module.
