What mWAVE Industries does

mWAVE Industries, LLC (doing business as Alaris mWave) is a Windham, Maine-based designer and manufacturer of custom and commercial microwave antenna and feed solutions operating from 100 MHz to 125 GHz. Founded in 2004, the company is a wholly owned subsidiary of the UK-registered Alaris The RF Technology Group Ltd., which consolidates seven RF-focused operating divisions. mWave's product portfolio spans standardized catalog series — HRP-Series (high-performance parabolic, 2.290 GHz–94 GHz), RP-Series (standard parabolic, 1.4–5.9 GHz), HPF Series (1.9–2.11 GHz), the RCCD4 X-band Cassegrain, the RPS2P2 dual-circular VSAT, the RP40X10 X-band surveillance radar antenna, and the P-Series parabolic grid — together with the recently introduced biWave V/W millimeter-wave platform. The company also delivers bespoke multi-band feeds and antenna systems engineered against customer specifications and validated through in-house testing.

The technical platform is built around parabolic, perforated, grid, and Cassegrain reflector architectures with configurable connector and polarization options, engineered for environmental extremes (e.g., 125 mph wind/1-inch ice survival). Production is supported by an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system, a critical gatekeeper for defense and government qualification. mWave monetizes through direct hardware sales of catalog SKUs and custom engineered units, with distribution augmented by a network of channel partners and sales representatives; pricing is quote-based with no public list prices. The customer base centers on mission-critical applications in defense, government, radar/surveillance, VSAT communications, and fixed-site installations — segments that value field-proven performance and qualified supply chains over price competition.

mWave employs between 11 and 50 people and operates from a single Windham, Maine headquarters. Sales and marketing rely on a direct enterprise field-sales motion, the company website, LinkedIn, an email newsletter, and a newsroom used for product launches and industry commentary. The company is privately held with no independent venture funding; historical support consists of six small Maine Technology Institute grants between 2004 and 2017. Recent strategic activity is concentrated on quality certification, mmWave product expansion, and brand alignment with the broader Alaris Group ecosystem.
