Lightweight UAV opportunity Times Microwave has introduced Levitate ultra-lightweight RF cable assemblies for UAVs and avionics, signaling a strategic push into defense and aerospace markets. This creates sales opportunities to target prime contractors, UAV manufacturers, and aerospace integrators with lightweight, high-performance interconnects. Cross-sell potential with MILTECH rugged lines and M8M multiport contacts to address diverse systems.

Expanded RF connectors The LMR-195 connector portfolio expansion broadens high-frequency interconnect options for wireless, defense, and industrial OEMs. Opportunities exist to upsell to existing customers and to close new programs requiring rugged, reliable RF interfaces, leveraging Amphenol's ecosystem for bundled solutions.

Distribution growth A distribution partnership with PEI-Genesis expands global reach for RF interconnect solutions. This presents a channel-led path to secure programs with defense primes and OEMs, supported by value-added services such as custom assemblies and training.

Rugged defense focus MILTECH hermetically sealed flexible RF and microwave transmission line assemblies along with M8M multiport contacts position Times Microwave as a supplier for harsh environments, supporting military avionics and electronic warfare applications with high reliability and regulatory-compliant products.

Install and service The launch of hardcase and tool kits for LMR installations signals an emphasis on post-sales service and field readiness. This creates opportunities to sell training, spare parts, maintenance contracts, and turnkey service packages to system integrators and field service providers.
