CPI gets $6M for Ka-band satcom amplifiers order

Communications and Power Industries (CPI), the biggest electron devices manufacturer and rebuilder in the U.S., announced that it has won a new order for Ka-band high-power satcom amplifiers for a staggering $6 million. The company said that an international customer will make use of the amplifiers for gateway Earth stations to support high-throughput satellite (HTS) services.

In a company statement, CPI SAtcom Division president Andy Tafler said: “CPI’s high-power satcom amplifiers will support our end customer in providing high-capacity Internet service to a rural population, supplementing the customer’s fiber network.”

The California-based company will manufacture the 500-watt Ka-band travelling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs), with shipments expected to go on until middle of next year.
