Frequency Electronics, Inc. is an American global aerospace, defense, security, and advanced technologies company with worldwide interests. It was founded in 1962 by Martin B. Bloch. FEI is now a well-established public company in Long Island, New York, and trades on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange under the symbol FEIM. It has five wholly-owned subsidiaries: FEI Communications Inc. and FEI Government Systems Inc., located in Mitchel Field, New York; FEI-Zyfer Inc., located in Garden Grove, California; FEI-Elcom Tech Inc., located in Northvale, New Jersey; FEI-Asia Ltd., located in the free trade zone in Tianjin, China. FEI and its subsidiaries are major worldwide suppliers of Precision Time and Frequency (PT&F) products for ground, seaborne, airborne, and space terminals and platforms used by commercial and government/military systems suppliers. In the mid-1990s, the Company transformed itself from a defense contract manufacturer into a high-tech provider of precision time and frequency products used to synchronize voice, data and video transmissions in wireless communications systems. These systems are found in both ground-based stations and on-board commercial satellites. The Company also continues to support the United States government with products for defense or space applications but it will do so with more emphasis on COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) products than on contract-based projects.
FEI is a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of high precision timing, and frequency control products for space, air, sea and terrestrial applications. FEI’s products are used in satellite payloads and in other commercial, government and military systems including C4ISR, electronic warfare (EW), missiles, UAVs, aircraft, GPS, secure communications, energy exploration and wireline and wireless communication networks.
Frequency has received over 100 awards for technical excellence for products delivered on various government and commercial. The longest operating frequency source (44 years) in space (Voyager 2) is an FEI product and a variety of our systems have visited every planet in our solar system. Currently, FEI provides precision timing and frequency sources for satellites in High/Geostationary, Medium and Low Earth Orbits. FEI has a unique legacy of providing master timing systems, power converters, and frequency synthesis and distribution systems. We are currently developing next-generation atomic clocks and low G-sensitive oscillators for both space and terrestrial applications. These products are applicable for both commercial and U.S. Government end-use.
