A Broadband Wireless Access MMDS Transmitter Manufacturer and Systems Company
Company Background
For more than four decades, the principals of
LOMA SCIENTIFIC INTERNATIONAL have
served the needs of the telecommunications industry on all continents in over 40
countries. The company's founder, J. Patrick Loughboro, was instrumental in the creation of FCC rules permitting the use of spectrum for Instructional
Television Fixed Service (ITFS), changing the way the world looks at education.
When the FCC decided to allocate part of the spectrum for commercial use
(MDS), we were there to lead the way in the design and manufacture of quality equipment
to meet the needs of this new industry. With the advent of Multichannel MDS, LOMA SCIENTIFIC INTERNATIONAL has excelled in the continued
development and manufacture of its proven technology.
LOMA SCIENTIFIC INTERNATIONAL is a leading manufacturer of state of the art
transmission equipment for the broadcast industry. Our dedication to research and development is unmatched. As a result, we are the only manufacturer to
incorporate a true "ULTRA-LINEAR" design philosophy into transmitters,
the heart of any broadcast facility.
