Link Microtek appoints telecom product specialist

Link Microtek, the supplier of RF and microwave components and subsystems, has appointed Martin Griffiths to the newly created position of telecom product specialist.

His role is an effort to boost the company’s sales of antennas, test equipment, DAS systems, amplifiers and other components to customers in the UK mobile infrastructure market. He brings experience in building relationships with mobile network operators and the wider communications sector having held senior positions at a number of manufacturers.

Expertise in microwave and RF technology was developed in Griffiths' early career through EEV and Rohde & Schwarz before he joined Filtronic and established himself in the mobile communications sector. He has since worked with Powerwave and Prism. Griffiths' role will involve identifying opportunities to develop new supplier partnerships over the coming months as Link Microtek acts as a UK representative for a number of US-based manufacturers.

“Martin’s extensive experience and detailed knowledge of the mobile infrastructure market will be invaluable to Link Microtek as we seek to expand our business in this area,” said Steve Cranstone, MD of Link Microtek. “We are delighted to have him as part of the team.”
