DURHAM, N.C., 18 April 2011. Emrise Corp., a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace, and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment, won an order for approximately $1.6 million (1 million pounds Sterling) to manufacture custom radio-frequency (RF) devices for an international military program. A major international military systems integrator and longstanding EMRISE customer awarded the contract, according to a company spokesperson. Shipments of the custom RF devices are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year and be completed in 2013.
EMRISE Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Carmine T. Oliva reveals that the company has been receiving a steady flow of smaller orders, and has won approximately $12.75 million in major contracts and orders announced over the past four months.
"Our overall backlog continues to grow substantially, and we are very encouraged by the increasing strong order trends of the last several months," Oliva says. "Going forward, we believe we will continue to see an increase in the rate of new development contracts and follow-on orders for new and existing military programs, commercial applications, inflight entertainment and connectivity systems and a range of communications equipment, including network access and timing and synchronization systems."
