Communication
The communications sector includes telecommunications/wireless and also broadcasting. These applications are differentiated by their high-speed signal and RF operation, forcing the use of advanced dielectrics and impedance control. ITL builds with a variety of high-speed materials, including PTFE’s (such as TeflonTM) and several different non-fluoropolymer (hydrocarbon and/or ceramic-based) materials.
We have implemented new processes such as hydrogen-plasma treatment of PTFE and gained extensive experience with mixed-material builds. Our impedance modeling and measurement can deliver the consistent functionality and our process controls can deliver the level of reliability needed for 100% up-time communication networks.
