North telecoms manufacturer Filtronic has announced a £700,000 contract with a US company following a pilot project.
The company, which has bases in Sedgefield, County Durham, Yeadon in Leeds and Maryland, US, designs and manufactures products for the aerospace, defence, telecoms infrastructure and critical communications markets.
Filtronic bosses said the deal is a follow-on contract for full production units, after the successful pilot-phase build of over-the-air 5G mmWave modules into the test equipment market which it secured last October.
