Addressing the need to create a streamlined procurement experience by shifting 
the testing responsibility away from the customer, Smiths Interconnect 
announces today the release of its SpaceNXT(TM) MWC Series( 
https://www.smithsinterconnect.com/products/rf-microwave-components/ferrites-and-waveguides/spacenxt%E2%84%A2-mwc-series/)of 
high reliability multi-way isolated splitters in high-frequency Ku-bands.

The SpaceNXT(TM) MWC Series is specifically designed for a variety of space 
applications(https://www.smithsinterconnect.com/markets/space/)from MEO/GEO 
satellites to deep space probes. It can be supplied to recognized testing 
sequences, so simplifying the specification and definition process. This can 
help customers meet even the most aggressive project schedules and reduce their 
cost of ownership.

Testing is performed in house and in compliance with general space 
qualification flows, incorporating industry-standard environmental requirements 
or custom screening and qualification flows provided by users as preferred. The 
test sequence and limits were designed and selected by Smiths Interconnect on a 
worst-case combination based on user requirements.

"Currently customers have limited choice when it comes to commercial space 
applications that require a technically superior solution," says Paul Harris( 
https://www.smithsinterconnect.com/company/who-we-are/senior-leadership-team-en/paul-harris/), 
Sales & Marketing VP at Smiths Interconnect. "Current products require 
extensive qualification testing and this cost is usually absorbed by the 
customer. By carrying out in-house qualification testing, we can shift the 
product testing responsibility from the customer to us, at the same time giving 
them the confidence that their products will meet the demanding specifications 
and needs of their space programmes".
