Mission Microwave
Continues Significant Growth and Moves to New
State-of-the-art Manufacturing Facility
April 5, 2021
Mission Microwave
Technologies, LLC, has moved from their original
offices in Santa Fe Springs to a larger facility
in Cypress, California.
Mission Microwave
manufactures X, Ku and Ka-band solid state
amplifiers and frequency converters to support
the leading manufacturers of satellite uplink
terminals. The company started in 2014 in Santa
Fe Springs and in 2016 and 2018 doubled their
footprint in that facility to approximately
15,000 square feet. The new Mission Microwave
facility at 6060 Phyllis Drive in Cypress, CA
again doubles the size of the company’s
California headquarters and manufacturing
facilities to accommodate dramatic growth in the
company’s Ku and Ka-band amplifier production.
“Our customers and
employees have contributed the energy and
enthusiasm that have made our growth possible
“said Mission Microwave’s President and CEO,
Francis Auricchio. “Our new office and
manufacturing center brings some well-deserved
improvements in efficiency and workflow for our
employees. The expanded manufacturing and
development facilities will continue our
customers’ confidence in our capability to
support their increasing demand for our
products.”
The new facility of over
31,000 square feet is equipped with ten
temperature controlled test equipment suites
capable of automated production testing up to 40
GHz for high power amplifiers, up to 750 watts.
The facility has enhanced power
distribution and HVAC systems to accommodate the
growing volume of deliveries of Mission products
that each undergo proprietary burn-in, tuning
and testing processes.
The new floorplan layout supports the reliable
manufacturing of Mission’s well-known products
such as the Cube, Dart, Stinger, Javelin, and
Titan BUCs used on tactical SATCOM terminals
throughout the DOD and critical commercial
telecommunications networks. Improvements to the
production and testing lines also enhance
Mission Microwave’s growing airborne product
business including Ku and
Ka-band BUCs and transceivers for UAV’s and for
DO-160 qualified terminal partners.
