Pole/Zero’s primary market presence is still in the design and manufacturing of these high-performance tunable RF filter products that help solve some of the most difficult communication problems in today’s congested environments. Pole/Zero has solutions deployed across the entire spectrum of military platforms, from ground communication base stations, tactical vehicular applications, UAV payloads, maritime warships, and large airborne command and control platforms. This connection to the industry is what drives much of Pole/Zero’s culture and focus. “Our people see the need for our products in the industry and how they are serving the end-user and keeping, for example, the war fighter out of harm’s way by having a clear line of communication,” says Paul Walpole, supply chain director.
