NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The business will be combined with L-3's Narda Microwave-East business located in Hauppauge, N.Y., and the new organization will be called L-3 Narda-Miteq.

The Miteq business develops and manufactures specialized RF microwave products and solid-state SATCOM components that complement the existing Narda product line.

Mega, president of L-3 Communication Systems. “Together, Narda-Miteq is a stronger and more scalable supplier that creates cross-selling opportunities and helps us build strategic partnerships with our expanding customer base.”
