RevGo Global maybe the biggest RF company that you’ve never heard of. You may not know their company name but if you have been working in the satellite ground segment sector in the last 20 years chances are you have most likely have come across the products that they have made.
RevGo Global has delivered over one million units since 2002 including satellite Block Upconverters (BUCs), Low Noise Blocks (LNBs), transceivers and point-to-point Outdoor Units (ODUs). However, most of the products they have delivered has been under other private labels and not until recently under the RevGo brand. The reason is RevGo spun off from Wavelab Inc, which produced RF and microwave equipment under Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other companies, some of which are well known brands in the industry.
Wavelab was founded by senior satellite engineers from the US and Canada in 2002 and initially focused on point-to-point microwave products. In 2012, the company expanded into the satellite market with its first products of BUCs and LNBs for the Asian market and for private label of two of the five leading BUC and LNB manufacturers. Since 2016, Wavelab decided to launch its own brand of satellite RF systems under the Revgo Global name, while Wavelab continued to focus on point-to-point microwave communications. Today RevGo designs and manufactures RF systems with well over 50,000 transceivers, BUCs and LNBs deployed in the Ku-, Ka-, C-, and DBS-Bands for satellite earth stations, VSAT networks and mobile applications.
New Generation GaN Technology
With headquarters and main R&D facility located in Reston, Virginia, USA and other facilities in Houston, Texas and Giuangzhou, China, RevGo has created a broad product series of highly reliable BUCs, low noise block LNBs, and full transceivers with the most efficient size, weight, power and quality (SWPaQ) with the following features: Output powers from 2 to 200 Watts with standalone (1+0) and redundant (1+1) operation. The company combines new generation GaN technology, unique power combining technology and a high-volume production-oriented system design with strict quality control to create more efficient, compact, cost competitive and field proven reliable products.
All RevGo products are manufactured to the stringent quality standards of ISO9001:2015 and is available within the shortest lead times.
“RevGo RF solutions are compact, require no tuning, and are fully synthesized and designed using the latest RF technology. RevGo continually focuses on quality and ease of the manufacturing process, which allows large-scale production volume as well as a reliable product that is very competitively priced,” said Mike Engle, President and CEO of RevGo Global.
Key Differentiator
Engle points out the key differentiator from the many other BUCs and LNB manufacturers in the market is that RevGo is a high-volume manufacturer. “‘We design products specifically for high volume production. This is a key differentiator for us because we design things that have no manual tuning. We design products with automatic testing so flatness gets automatically adjusted. Therefore, we have a low labor component to our production process. We are also the largest supplier of Ka-Band transceivers in the world today,” said Engle.
“We design our own GaNs and package our own GaNs. We do not rely on outsourced parts. This improves quality control and shortens delivery times. This enables us to quickly deliver to our customers unlike our competitors who rely on outsourced GaNs. The GaN is one of the hardest to and longest lead items to procure. We’ve streamlined the production process so you can get your product in less than four weeks,” said Engle.
David Seeman, an experienced satellite industry executive who recently joined RevGo Global as Director of Sales, said that “what attracted me to the company is the passion for RF. They basically don’t say no. They have engineers from all over the world who provide unique input and they just like building good, reliable products.”
A Company Easy to Do Business With
The company is proud not only of the quality and reliability of its products but also of the ease of doing business with them. “We are big enough a company to meet any requirements under the most exacting standards but also small enough to work very closely and develop relationships with our customers. We make it very easy to deal with us and not make the process too complicated. It’s either we can make it to fit your requirements or we don’t and our prices are very competitive. The relationships we have with our customers have lasted for multiple years because of the trust they have in us.” said Engle.
