Filtronic is a designer and manufacturer of advanced radio frequency communications products supplying a number of market sectors including mobile telecommunications infrastructure, public safety, defence and aerospace.
E-band radio links that meet 5G capacity requirements have lower latency than fibre cables of the same length. This makes private point-to-point mmWave links a more attractive solution for latency-critical applications such as automated, high-frequency, financial trading systems because transaction times are reduced, which creates a competitive advantage when trading shares. Other applications where low-latency high-capacity networks could deliver significant advantages are plant safety control systems, security monitoring and autonomous vehicle controls.
