API Technologies to Feature AESA Radar, Aviation and Security Solutions at DSEI 2015
August 18, 2015 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
API Technologies Corp., a leading provider of high performance RF, microwave, millimeterwave, power, and security solutions, today announced that the Company will exhibit at Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI 2015) exhibition from 15-18 September at London's ExCeL Exhibition Centre. On display will be the Company's product offerings for AESA radar, space, security, and a broad array of defence applications.
Show highlights include:
Subsystem Level Solutions for AESA Radar Applications: Featured products will include the Company's Active Antenna Array Unit (AAAU) and Quad Transmit Receive Module (QTRM) products. The flexible configurations of the AAAU and integral QTRMs support a wide range of applications including naval, air, and ground-based radar. The products are field upgradable and designed to improve the accuracy and serviceability of AESA radar platforms. API Technologies will also preview its 2-D Array system. Built on a flexible technology platform, this lightweight, compact unit is designed to ease the challenges associated with phased-array radar development in a variety of next-generation radar applications.
Opto-electrical Media Converter Products: API will demonstrate its new line of media converter products at DSEi. The media converters offer a UK-made, low-to-high speed data communications solution specifically developed for harsh environments, including military and commercial avionics, subsea communications, and military vehicle platforms. Packaged in an EMI 38999 connector, the converters provide improved security due to non electromagnetic signature, as well as support weight reduction and high speed communications in new aircraft and vehicles. Designed to be an intrinsically safe alternative to copper-based electrical cables, the converters also offer a desirable and easy-to-install retrofit solution.
Encryption & Secure Mobile Communication Products: The Company will also debut the SST™ Secure Data Hub, a mobile encryption device, which supports up to four devices, including tablets and laptops. The Secure Data Hub is designed to facilitate secure communications and is ideal for mobile office settings. Other products on display will include the SST™ Secure Venue Tablet and SST™ TEMPEST and ruggedised systems.
"We are proud to showcase our comprehensive selection of RF/microwave, microelectronics, and security products designed and manufactured in the UK. Since API's European debut at DSEI 2013, the Company has emerged as a leader in electronic products in support of a broad range of defence, aviation, space, and security applications. We see this event as an opportunity to continue and broaden our interaction with the wider European professional, technical, and security communities," said Matthew Richards, Senior Vice President & Managing Director, RF/Microwave and Microelectronics (RF2M-UK) and Secure Systems & Information Assurance (SSIA).

Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
Trouble in Your Tank: Minimizing Small-via Defects for High-reliability PCBs
08/27/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankTo quote the comedian Stephen Wright, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.” That can be the battle cry when you find that only small-diameter vias are exhibiting voids. Why are small holes more prone to voids than larger vias when processed through electroless copper? There are several reasons.
The Government Circuit: Navigating New Trade Headwinds and New Partnerships
08/25/2025 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitAs global trade winds continue to howl, the electronics manufacturing industry finds itself at a critical juncture. After months of warnings, the U.S. Government has implemented a broad array of tariff increases, with fresh duties hitting copper-based products, semiconductors, and imports from many nations. On the positive side, tentative trade agreements with Europe, China, Japan, and other nations are providing at least some clarity and counterbalance.
How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
