What Faltech Gps does

FalTech GPS (legal entity FalTech Limited) is a UK-based specialist distributor and systems integrator of indoor GNSS/GPS and Iridium satellite repeater solutions, headquartered in Falmouth, Cornwall, with a registered office in Penryn. Founded by Managing Director Phil Whitting in March 2012 as the appointed UK distributor for Finnish manufacturer Roger-GPS, the company was established contemporaneously with Ofcom's introduction of a light licence regime that legalised GPS repeater use in the UK. FalTech has supplied over 1,000 repeater systems to hundreds of organisations in the UK and internationally across more than twelve years of trading.

The core technology re-radiates outdoor satellite signals indoors: a rooftop antenna receives GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and (in higher-end kits) L2 signals, which are passed through coaxial or single-mode/multi-mode fibre cabling to indoor re-radiating units that broadcast the signal at low power throughout the building. The product range spans entry-level L1-only kits, tri-band L1/GLONASS/Galileo units, full L1/L2/GLONASS/Galileo enclosures, all-L-band GNSS kits, IP67 waterproof variants, GPS-over-fibre links, GNSS/GPS splitters and amplifiers, and Iridium satellite phone repeaters (both optical-fibre up to 3 km and coaxial variants under 40 m). All products carry CE marking under ETSI EN 302 645 and the R&TTE Directive; the Roger-GPS platform additionally holds a NATO stock number, and a railway variant is certified to EN50155. The INLOCIS Navigator product extends the portfolio into active indoor positioning.

FalTech operates a B2B sales-led model targeting emergency services (fire, police, ambulance), aircraft maintenance hangars, electronics manufacturers, logistics/asset tracking, agriculture and rail. Distribution is direct via phone (+44 1326 336 444), website enquiry forms, email, and bespoke system design services for complex or large-area deployments; installation services and a content-led marketing programme (e-books, webinars, trade shows including ESS and BAPCO, Electronics Weekly PR) support lead generation. Revenue is generated almost entirely from hardware kit sales plus custom system design and installation services; pricing is quote-based rather than published. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no M&A activity, and headcount of 1-10.

Core offering

FalTech GPS supplies GPS and GNSS repeater systems, GPS-over-fibre links, and Iridium satellite repeaters that bring outdoor satellite signals indoors so GPS-enabled devices can operate, test, or be tracked inside buildings. Core offerings are sold as complete repeater kits (outdoor antenna, coaxial cable, indoor re-radiating unit) supporting L1, L1/GLONASS/Galileo, and L1/L2/GLONASS/Galileo configurations, plus custom-designed systems for complex installations and optional professional installation services.

Product overview

FalTech GPS offers a comprehensive portfolio of GNSS/GPS repeater hardware solutions for providing indoor satellite signal coverage. The core product line consists of GPS repeater kits available in multiple configurations (L1 only, L1/GLONASS/Galileo tri-band, and L1/L2 quad-band), all based on Roger-GPS equipment manufactured in Finland. Each kit typically includes an outdoor antenna (Tallysman TW3042 for L1 or TW3742 for multi-band), coaxial feeder cable, and indoor re-radiating unit with coverage up to 1,200 square metres per kit. The portfolio also includes GPS-over-fibre systems using single-mode or multi-mode fibre optic cables for extended distances, Iridium satellite phone repeater kits (both optical and coaxial variants), and custom-designed solutions for complex installations. All products come with 24-month warranty and are CE-approved and ETSI-compliant. The company also offers component products including splitters (1:2, 1:5), amplifiers (+16dB), and waterproof IP67-rated enclosures for challenging environments.

Direct peers

• Fiplex Communications: Manufacturer of RF repeaters and bi-directional amplifiers used to extend wireless coverage indoors, including public-safety and satellite bands. Directly comparable in RF indoor-coverage technology and overlapping with FalTech's Iridium repeater and in-building coverage positioning.
• GPS Networking: US-based manufacturer and distributor of GPS/GNSS signal distribution products including splitters, amplifiers, repeaters, and fibre-optic links. Directly overlaps FalTech's product portfolio (amplifiers, splitters, GPS-over-fibre) and serves many of the same aviation, government, and emergency-services end markets.
• Roger-GPS: Finnish manufacturer of GNSS repeater systems and FalTech's core OEM partner since 2012. Operates in the identical product category (indoor GPS/GNSS repeaters) and is described in source data as 'Europe's leading manufacturer of GNSS repeater systems', making it the closest comparable and most direct competitive threat in adjacent geographies.
• Comprod: Manufacturer of RF repeaters, bi-directional amplifiers, and signal distribution equipment for commercial and public-safety wireless networks. Overlaps with FalTech's indoor RF coverage and amplifier-product capabilities and serves similar in-building coverage buyers.
• Foxcom: Israel-based manufacturer of fibre-optic RF distribution systems and Iridium repeaters, and FalTech's partner for Iridium repeater products. Operates in the same in-building satellite RF distribution technology category and competes for related indoor satcom coverage deals.

Broad incumbents

• PCTEL: Provider of antennas and RF solutions for wireless and GNSS applications, with public-safety, defense, and industrial customers. Comparable as an established incumbent in GNSS antenna and in-building wireless hardware where FalTech operates.
• Iridium Communications: Operator of the Iridium satellite constellation and broader satellite communications services. Comparable through FalTech's Iridium repeater line, which extends indoor coverage of Iridium's network; relevant as the underlying service provider whose indoor-extension economics drive part of FalTech's revenue.
• Trimble: Diversified positioning technology vendor with broad GNSS receiver, correction services, and indoor positioning offerings across construction, agriculture, logistics, and defense. Comparable as a large incumbent spanning multiple end segments where FalTech also sells.
• Hexagon (NovAtel): Global GNSS positioning OEM (NovAtel) under Hexagon, producing high-precision GNSS receivers, antennas, and augmentation products for aerospace, defense, and commercial markets. Comparable as a much larger incumbent in the GNSS hardware space where FalTech sits as a niche specialist.

Emerging players

• Tallysman: Manufacturer of GNSS antennas (including the TW3042 and TW3742 models that FalTech bundles into its kits). Comparable as a component specialist in the GNSS hardware stack and adjacent supplier to FalTech rather than a like-for-like competitor.
