Communication Networks for Critical Infrastructure

Modern solutions for you

Who we are

FTI is the UK Market leader in safety critical, resilient networks for Aviation Control Tower infrastructure supporting airfield Comms, Navigational Aids and Surveillance systems.

The Company designs and manufactures its own equipment where 'fit for purpose' products are not currently available.

Particular attention is given to minimising the impact of Solar Radiation on the choice of electronic components. The latest nanometre substrates, used in high density integrated circuits, are far more vulnerable to cosmic rays. Solar Cycle 25 started in 2019 and is predicted to peak, between 2023 & 2026.

FTI provides expertise in the design of safety critical networks and provides Turn-Key Solutions (over 35 years).

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.
