Molex Incorporated has announced that it and certain of its affiliates have acquired SDP Telecom. Headquartered in Montreal, Canada, SDP designs and manufactures RF/microwave solutions for the wireless communications industry. Founded in 1995, SDP brings a successful industry track record innovating RF components and subsystems. In addition to its Montreal, Canada headquarters, SDP has manufacturing facilities in China. They will now be managed by the RF/Microwave Business Unit that is part of Molex’s Global Integrated Products Division.
Driven by the increased use of smart devices globally—and an explosion in the amount of data carried over wireless infrastructure—wireless carriers have invested significantly in upgrading infrastructure to ensure quality service. SDP solutions are used by top tier wireless infrastructure equipment makers to improve signal transmission efficiency over wireless networks.
The acquisition will provide a unique value proposition for deeper technical engagement with wireless equipment makers. Together Molex and SDP have many opportunities for growth in multiple segments of the wireless market.
