Radyne’s Phoenix division focuses on satellite and terrestrial modems that address the challenges facing both military and commercial sectors today. Radyne has recently accumulated an impressive string of wins on major military contracts, which include its role on the Air Force’s Ground MultiBand Terminal (GMT) program. The modem being used in this application is one of the industry’s first MIL-STD-188-165A DISA compliant modems, the DMD2050. With the release of this modem Radyne set the standard for a high speed, high performance and flexible COTS modem. This modem builds on the success of the DMD15L to support various vital government and military communications links worldwide meeting MIL-STD requirements and also is configurable for operation in IDR, IBS and DVB environments, another industry first.

In addition to Radyne’s strength in the military marketplace, it has been the leader in supplying product for key commercial applications. Radyne’s latest product, the Skywire, is enabling customers with small and medium sized mesh and hub and spoke networks to achieve unmatched efficiency and cost effectiveness in new and retrofit installations.
