What G3 Technologies does

G3 Technologies Inc. (G3T) is a privately-held engineering company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, that designs and manufactures software-defined radio (SDR) platforms and wireless intelligence solutions for defense, intelligence, and commercial telecommunications customers. The company builds hardware and software in-house, spanning cellular protocol stacks from 2G through 5G NR as well as PTT/dPTT radio systems (DMR, P25, NXDN, DSTAR, AM/FM), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Its core product lines include the TETLEY Scanner for wideband IQ recording and rogue BTS detection, the SENTRY and SPOTTER direct-conversion tuner receivers (75MHz–6GHz coverage, 7TB onboard storage), the SG50X/VIRTUOSO tactical analytics platform with voiceprint and Pattern of Life analysis, and the FORTIS software suite offered as dockerized modules for third-party SDR platforms. Specialized offerings include the TETLEY FEM (5G FR2 mmWave), TETLEY Handy Kit, TETLEY Hydra (employing proprietary Non-Alerting Techniques), TETLEY PileDriver (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth correlation), TETLEY RECON (MIL-STD-810H), NOMOS (Wi-Fi spectrum clearing), AERAS 2U (Modular Payload-compliant UxV payload), and POLLY TACTICAL (multi-radio communications gateway).

The company generates revenue through three streams: hardware product sales (in-house designed scanners and receivers), software licensing (FORTIS modular software for partner SDR platforms), and engineering services (rapid prototyping, custom development, manufacturing, and long-term field support). G3T operates an enterprise field sales motion targeting U.S. Government agencies, Department of Defense operations, defense prime contractors, and select commercial telecom buyers, using 'Request a Demo' and 'Contact Sales' CTAs consistent with quote-based procurement. It is designated as a Program of Record for the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Signals Intelligence programs and integrates with ROVER, RAPTORX, and Tactalytics platforms. With 251–500 employees and offices across Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, and Florida, G3T has grown organically over 25 years without disclosed external funding.
