Established in 1987, MILMEGA expertly designs and manufactures high power amplifiers for commercial and government applications. The company's core strength lies in the development of broadband RF power amplifiers operating in a frequency range from 80 MHz to 8 GHz with power levels to 1 kW. 

Pat Moore, Managing Director of MILMEGA Ltd., said, "Becoming part of the Teseq group allows us to offer the very best in global sales and support as well as EMC system expertise in software design and installation services, positioning us as a leader in the field. Our customers now have access to an extensive RF product range as well as engineering expertise that will facilitate the development of innovative system solutions to meet their needs today and in the future. Combining our individual strengths ensures our market focused approach to new developments and enables us to more accurately define new amplifier requirements for years to come."

The MILMEGA brand and all aspects of the company's product range, including its industry unique five year warranty, will be retained.  The MILMEGA factory will become a competence center for RF amplifiers within the Teseq organization, which is currently comprised of eight subsidiaries and seven accredited labs worldwide.
