For example, an engineer can extend the ports on a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) by adding a switch box to each VNA port which would extend each VNA port to 12 ports.
Dow Key’s proven high-reliability switches have been used in hundreds of successful space missions since the 1970’s, such as MUOS, GPS, Milstar, GOES, and GALILEO.


Dow Key has heavily invested in staff and equipment for space requirements including:
  • Two Class 7 clean rooms
  • Prohibited materials screening chamber
  • Three TVAC test stations
