Corporate Profile
THE FEI CORPORATION
GILLAM-FEI's parent company, Frequency Electronics Inc., was founded in 1961 and quickly gained world prominence in the Precision Quartz Crystal Oscillator Technology. FEI's ability to design, develop and fabricate oscillators for the new demanding requirements gave rise to its 80% world market share of spacecraft clocks, which it has dominated for over 40 years. In the ensuing '80s and '90s, FEI's technology base expanded to other precision oscillator products, including Rubidium and Cesium Atomic oscillators, as well as a host of ground and space-borne RF products and power sources. Today, FEI is a full service producer of precision frequency sources, RF and microwave components and systems, telecom systems, and network security products; second to none in technology. Throughout the years, FEI received many awards and commendations for product and service excellence from NASA, DoD, and related contractors.
Prior to joining the FEI family in 2000, GILLAM and its fully owned subsidiary SATEL have been developing a strong 20-years experience in the fields of Telecommunication Network Synchronization.
Thanks to its engineering skills and its flexibility, Gillam gained both national and international renown.
Since 2000, Gillam-FEI has been strengthening its national customers relationship and working at the expansion of its international market. Nowadays, the Belgian headquarters operate worldwide through an extended partners’ network.
GILLAM-FEI’s skills are notably expressed in:
NETWORK SYNCHRONIZATION:
GILLAM-FEI has been specialising in the development and manufacture of network synchronization equipments for digital networks since the late 80's and is now up among the world leaders in this field.
With the ever increasing stringent requirements of new broadband transmission technologies, synchronization has become the warranty to Quality of Service for Telecoms operators.
The objective of network synchronization is to keep the source and receive clocks in step so that the receiving node can properly interpret the digital frame.
When timing synchronization is off, quality issues range from distorted and unreadable faxes, corrupted or lost data to frozen images on videoconferencing or even audible clicks in the voice and drop calls in mobile transmissions.
Therefore GILLAM-FEI can provide Telecoms operators with the right turnkey solution for the synchronization of their networks.
Our solutions are designed to fully satisfy operators and are suitable for all network levels. They are developed in order to meet and support new network technologies like SDH, DWDM, ATM, GSM, IP, CDMA, UMTS, etc.
The range of products includes not only the primary references, but also synchronization supply units, distribution units, network management and a synchronization portable measuring instrument.
As additional proof of the products quality, GILLAM-FEI has also obtained official labels, such as for example AQAP-110 certification including ISO-9001, which is the highest qualification for design, development and manufacture of military equipment.
