Cirtek will start production as early as the fourth quarter, Cirtek Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer Brian Liu said. “CATSI is capitalizing its decades of history and experience in specialized Microwave Integrated Circuit Assembly and test know-how capabilities…,” in a statement.
“Such capability, when used collectively will allow great scalability and cater to the growing data processing requirements of an increasingly networked society.

Quintel USA, Inc. a subsidiary based on the United States is preparing to deploy new antennas to be used for 5G mobile networks. Quintel got approval to use a frequency band that was previously reserved for use by the US navy, aircraft, and satellite applications.

“Quintel is very excited to participate in the nationwide swap out of existing antennas… This comes at an opportune time when the pandemic has forced millions of companies and employees to work from home…,” Cirtek Vice-Chairman and President Jorge Aguilar said in the statement. “Our new antennas are designed to open up 150 MHz (megahertz) of new information highway spectrum to US networks.”
The company said its board of directors had approved a plan to raise its authorized capital stock by P880 million to P1.74 billion in preparation for future capital raising activities as stated in a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange.
