Network Sciences

Network Sciences was originally founded in 1970 under the name “Network Sciences, Inc.” to design, develop and manufacture discrete crystal filters for the Citizens’ Band (CB) mobile radio and amateur radio industries. In 1985 the current management team acquired and renamed the company “Network Sciences”, and has effectively grown the company’s product line to include a wide variety of discrete crystal filters, LC filters, monolithic crystal filters, and crystal-based frequency discriminators. With over 1,000 proven filter designs in its engineering library, Network Sciences has become known to provide unique solutions to unique applications in the design and manufacture of high quality standard and custom-engineered rf filters covering the frequency range from 1 KHz to over 2.5 GHz.

Network Sciences manufactures application-specific (custom-engineered) crystal and LC rf filters and frequency discriminators for commercial and military communications, and instrumentation applications. The company offers and extensive line of cost-effective filters and discriminators currently in production, plus the design and manufacturing capabilities to develop new products to meet its customers’ unique filter requirements. The filter products offered by Network Sciences are available in a wide variety of packages, which include surface mount, flatpack PCB packages, and connectorized housings.

MARKETS SERVED

Filters supplied by Network Sciences are used in a wide array of U.S. and international governmental agencies, military, commercial, and high quality consumer applications such as radar, airborne reconnaissance systems, communications jamming systems, cellular and PCS base stations, GPS survey instruments, microwave digital radios, test instrumentation, and miscellaneous wireless communications systems.
