Triad RF Systems' experience in the CubeSat market has resulted in more than 16 years of combined operating time for its products in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Its RF subsystem overcomes barriers in CubeSat and SmallSat applications, making this possible by combining the extreme temperature cycling of LEO and the shock/vibration exposure seen in space launch and operation. This highly accumulated flight experience demonstrates the company's proven capability and reliability to meet the stringent scale and efficiency demands of the new space industry.
The company also provides up and down converters and manufactures full-duplex Tx/Rx components for FDD radio systems. It offers a range of custom products for use in the space and is compatible with off-the-shelf and customer-designed software-defined radios. Their RF amplifiers function in a variety of bands, from uhf to ka.
Over the past five years, the company has built and delivered more than 400 CubeSat amplifiers and inverters to support critical communication links on customers' satellites. These products have been used by various NewSpace companies, including companies such as In-Space Missions Limited (BAE Systems). The company's RF subsystems launch on three different SpaceX rideshare missions in a year: Falcon 9 Transporter-2 in 2021, Transporter-4 and Transporter-5 in 2022.
