SELEX Communications Partners with Hypres, To Develop An All-Digital Receiver For Software Radio Applications
SELEX Communications, a Finmeccanica company, leader in advanced mission-critical communications, navigation and identification solutions that protect communities and critical national infrastructure, has partnered with Hypres Inc., a leading developer of superconductor microelectronics (SME) technology, and the Digital RFTM product line, to develop an All-Digital receiver for the SELEX Communications software defined radio.
The All-Digital receiver will provide high performance, multi-channel wideband reception for the SELEX Communications software radio being developed.
“This partnership is an exciting beginning to a relationship that will provide both companies with a compelling infrastructure solution and outstanding market opportunities,” said Maurizio Tucci, CEO of SELEX Communications. “The combination of Hypres’ direct digitization technology and our software radio will have a profound impact on the future of wireless communications.”
Since Hypres began delivering All-Digital receiver prototypes—each configured to meet specific operating requirements—to various U.S. defense sector customers, the company has experienced ever increasing demand from prime contractors and systems integrators. Hypres has proven that All-Digital receivers can be designed to directly convert RF signals to digital at virtually any frequency and bandwidth with performance that exceeds currently fielded satellite and tactical communications, signals intelligence, electronic warfare, and software defined radio equipment.
“Serving as a technology provider for Finmeccanica and SELEX Communication fits our strategic plan perfectly and is a great opportunity for Hypres. We appreciate their confidence in our capability and their recognition of the future impact of Digital RFTM technology” said Richard Hitt, CEO of Hypres. “This partnership is proof that industry recognizes Digital RFTM has arrived and is uniquely able to solve the complex RF requirements of an increasingly wireless world.”
