N. Billerica, Massachusetts (February 2005) - Radio Waves, Inc., The Leader in Microwave Antenna Innovation®, has entered a new business segment, the design and manufacturing of microwave couplers. These hot-standby couplers have been designed for several OEM customers and include products from 6 GHz to 38 GHz. Couplers are available for both equal and unequal coupled systems and can be designed for any specific microwave radio. In the past Radio Waves has sold some 3^rd party couplers, but found that these suppliers could not provide the level of service, support and delivery required by today’s global OEM organizations. Additionally Radio Waves couplers offer lower insertion loss than competitive products and each unit is individually tested to ensure optimal field performance.

Andy Singer, General Manager of Radio Waves stated “Our new coupler products offer the same high reliability and 3-year warranty as our microwave antenna products. Our customers require superior service and support and now Radio Waves offers this for hot-standby couplers.”
