SAF Tehnika (Nasdaq Baltic: SAF1R) is a designer, producer and distributor of digital Microwave Data transmission equipment. SAF Tehnika products provide wireless backhaul solutions for digital voice and data transmission to mobile and fixed network operators, data service providers, governments and private companies. The Company’s product portfolio consists of microwave point-to-point radios for licensed and license free frequency bands as well as unique spectrum analyzer Spectrum Compact. SAF Tehnika also provides wide range of customized microwave solutions for various applications, such as Broadcasting and Low latency networks.
In 2004 SAF Tehnika acquired a Swedish company, – SAF Tehnika Sweden, a fully owned subsidiary, based in Gothenburg, however in 2008 it was bought out by its management, changing the name to "Trebax AB". In May 2004 the Company launched a successful IPO with initial market capitalization of more than €50 million, with substantial subscriptions from institutional investors. The Company is listed on the NASDAQ OMX Riga under the symbol SAF1R.
During the 2000s SAF Tehnika has been taking next steps towards global expansion by developing a large network of authorized partners and sales representatives all over the globe, most notable being the opening of SAF Tehnika North America office and warehouse facilities in Denver in 2013.
SAF Integra is one of the latest technological developments in the field of microwave data transmission from SAF Tehnika. This next generation microwave radio platform combines antenna, radio part, and the mounting brackets into a single unit. Integra has a capacity of up to 1Gbit/s throughput with header compression in 1+0 configuration. The latest modem technology solution enables covering longer distances due to better system gain at 256QAM and with hitless ACM switching up to 1024QAM. With optional ETSI Class 4 antennas Integra may be deployed in a dense microwave environment. The bandwidth range goes from 3.5 MHz up to 60 MHz in single hardware design. Direct radio and antenna integration allows saving the time usually spent on radio-to-antenna assembly and sealing. Integra is a light, energy efficient carrier-grade system. Integration of next generation microwave radio with high and super high performance antennas into a single unit translates into a lower total cost of ownership, as well as less time spent on the installation site, and better link reliability even in densely served areas. Its body is made from an EMC-compliant plastic material ensuring complete corrosion resistance surpassing that of the classic microwave antennas. The mounting bracket is optimized for wind-load reduction, ensuring a considerably higher wind resistance, which keeps the radio link up even in rugged weather. Another significant addition is the software controlled LED which indicates whether the radio has been synchronized with the remote end and is operating properly. Built-in multi-core network packet processor enables Carrier Ethernet performance with features like Synchronous Ethernet, header compression, and RADIUS authentication. Three Gigabit Ethernet ports per radio allow using the built-in high performance Gigabit switch in all-outdoor environment and avoid additional cost of expensive rack-mount switches and facilitate shelter-free installations.
