FTI Communication Systems Ltd
Communication Networks for Critical Infrastructure
Modern solutions for you
Who we are
FTI is the UK Market leader in safety critical networks for
Aviation Control Tower infrastructure supporting airfield Comms, Navigational Aids and Surveillance systems (over 35 years).
The Company's expertise is predominately in the design of high reliability, resilient networks and
Turn-Key Solutions.
FTI designs and manufactures its own equipment where 'fit for purpose'
products are not currently available.
Each stage of a project is specified, along with the choice of reliable
components, to provide a guaranteed project and excellent life expectancy.
The historical evidence continues to demonstrate real life extended performance
and attractive life time ownership cost.
Particular attention is given to minimising the impact of Solar Radiation
on the choice of electronic components. The latest nanometre substrates and lower operating voltages,
used in high density silicon, make the integrated circuits far more vulnerable to cosmic
rays. We are now in Solar Cycle 25 which began in 2019 and is predicted to peak, between
2024 & 2026.
