Radyne Corporation (NASDAQ:RADN)
Industry: Technology
Radyne Corporation designs, manufactures, sells, integrates and installs products, systems and software used for the transmission and reception of data and video over satellite, microwave and cable communication networks. The Company's products are used in applications for telephone (landline and mobile), data, video and audio broadcast communications, private and corporate data networks, Internet applications, and digital television for cable and network broadcast. Through its Tiernan Communications subsidiary, Radyne is a supplier of high-definition television (HDTV) and standard-definition television (SDTV) encoding and transmission equipment. The Company's subsidiary, Xicom Technology, Inc. (Xicom), is a producer of high-power amplifiers for communications applications. On May 27, 2005, Radyne acquired Xicom. The Company serves customers in over 90 countries, including customers in the television broadcast industry, international telecommunications companies, Internet service providers, private communications networks, network and cable television, and the United States government. The Company has been organized into two operating segments: Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment, which provides Radyne and Tiernan brand products to satellite, microwave, television and cable communications customers, and Amplifiers, which provides Xicom products. Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment Satellite modems transform user information, such as data, video or audio, into a signal that can be further processed for transmission via satellite. Radyne produces several varieties of satellite modems, which operate at different speeds using a variety of modulation techniques. Featured products include the DMD20-Universal Satellite Modem, the DMD2050-MIL-STD Compliant Universal Satellite Modem, and the DMD15-Universal IBS/IDR Satellite Modem. Radyne markets a variety of converters used to transmit and receive signals over satellites in the commercial satellite frequency ranges of C-Band, Ka-Band and Ku-Band. It also produces a redundancy control unit, which will switch a satellite system to stand-by equipment in the event of a malfunction in a satellite modem or converter. Featured products include SFC-1450 Ku-Band up-converter and SFC-1275 KuBand down-converter. The Company's earth stations typically consist of several components, including a satellite modem, a frequency converter, a transceiver, a transmitter, redundancy switches and an antenna. Earth stations serve as an essential link in transmitting signals to and receiving signals from satellites. The Company's earth stations enable users to program power levels and operating parameters in order to compensate for low signal levels, extreme weather conditions and other variables. Radyne designs and manufactures its earth stations using components that it manufactures, as well as components that it obtains from other manufacturers. Radyne offers a line of SDTV and HDTV encoders for professional applications. Both models feature MPEG-2 video encoding capability and audio compression. The HDTV encoder features a monitor screen on its faceplate, which enables the technician to monitor actual unit performance in real time. Featured products include the HE4000-High and Standard Definition Encoder, the SE4000-DVB MPEG-2 Contribution Encoder, the HD4000-High Definition Contribution Decoder, and the TDR4022- DVB Professional Integrated Receiver/Decoder. The Company's modulators and demodulators are similar to modems as they transform a signal for transmission to a satellite and then, at the receiving station, convert the signal back into a form usable as part of the broadcast data stream. Featured products include the DM240-Digital Video Broadcast Modulator and the DD240-Digital Video Broadcast Demodulator. Cable modulators offered by Radyne are used primarily in the distribution of digital video for use by cable television distributors and in HDTV. The design of the cable modulators allows for the transmission of digital video on terrestrial, broadband
