About us
Driving innovation with decades of experience.
In today's rapidly evolving landscape of defense communications, tactical radio companies face unprecedented challenges in navigating congested RF environments. The demand to filter out unwanted frequencies to capture only the most accurate signals has never been more critical. However, traditional filters present significant drawbacks –they are bulky, heavy, and power-hungry, limiting the adaptability and effectiveness of communication systems. Recognizing these challenges, Tri-TeQ is dedicated to pioneering innovative solutions that redefine the possibilities of RF filter technology.
