UK-based Spectra Group, a specialist provider of secure voice, data and satellite communications systems, announced on 7 November 2024 it is expanding to launch Spectra Group (Australia) to enhance its ability to serve customers in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
As part of this launch, the communications operations of Australian SME C3 Systems will amalgamate with Spectra Group (Australia), allowing for a more streamlined approach to meeting the needs of existing and future regional customers.
Notable Spectra Group product lines include the Troposcatter family of systems, which provides highly mobile, high-bandwidth strategic communication links between key headquarters; the SlingShot system, which converts standard UHF and VHF tactical radios into strategic satellite communication systems with true beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) and communications-on-the-move (COTM) capabilities; and the new GENSS software-defined radio, which combines all the advantages of SlingShot with the need for increased battlefield data capacity and agility into a single system.
Simon Davies, CEO of Spectra Group, was quoted as saying in a company pres release, “As our portfolio of products and services continues to grow, providing closer support to our global customers has become the next logical step. We’ve recently expanded our footprint in the US, and we’re seeing increasing demand in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Our goal is to ensure our customers receive the highest levels of support.
“We’re excited to bring the track record and expertise of the C3 Systems Communications team into Spectra Group, led by Chris Hembling, whose reputation for quality resonates with Spectra’s core values of agility, loyalty and honesty,” Davies added. “Their expertise is invaluable, and we believe it will be crucial to the success of Spectra Group (Australia). The new office is being established primarily to serve the Australian market with our high-quality products and services. Additionally, the Australian team will support opportunities in the region and strengthen our wider group as needed.”
