What Erzia Technologies does

ERZIA Technologies is a privately held Spanish designer and manufacturer of RF and microwave solid-state amplifiers and integrated assemblies, founded in 2002-2003 in Santander, Spain. The company develops High Power Amplifiers (HPAs), Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), Integrated Microwave Assemblies (IMAs), suspended substrate filters, mixers, switches, and equalizers using technologies including GaN for radar applications. Its dedicated New Space COTS product line adds radiation tolerance (up to 30 Krad), vacuum-ready housings, outgassing compliance, and automotive-grade passives (AEC-Q200) to address LEO constellation and orbital missions. The firm holds ISO 9001, UNE-EN 9100 (aerospace), and IPC space-addendum certifications, operates under EU regulation 2021/821 for export-controlled hardware, and maintains an in-house engineering, manufacturing, and test capability across 300+ COTS designs.

ERZIA serves defense primes, space agencies, satellite operators, and laboratory test equipment manufacturers, with named customers including Raytheon Deutschland, Indra, Thales Nederland, Focus Microwaves, and Warrior RF, plus an undisclosed LEO constellation customer. Programs include co-developed RF subsystems for airborne ELINT, Integrated Microwave Assemblies for the Spanish Navy F-110 frigate EW suite, and a 216-unit New Space amplifier delivery for a LEO constellation completed in 24 weeks. The business model is hardware sales (COTS catalog and custom integrated assemblies) supplemented by custom engineering and qualification services (documentation, radiation testing, environmental screening) under NDA; pricing is quote-based and gated behind a member login. Distribution is direct enterprise sales globally, supplemented by active participation in AOC Europe, SatShow Week, and European Microwave Week.
