MACOM Technology Solutions

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
<h3>Early history</h3>
MACOM was founded in the 1950s as Microwave Associates by the engineers Vessarios Chigas, Louis Roberts, Hugh Wainwright and Richard M. Walker.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3">3</a> The company was initially a small supplier of <a href="/facts/Magnetron/8qd9pfsj">magnetrons</a> to the <a href="/facts/U.S._Army_Signal_Corps/xAqQnv2w">U.S. Army Signal Corps</a>. The name was changed to M/A-COM in 1978 to reflect the company's growing involvement in the <a href="/facts/Telecommunication/vxoj1cxR">telecommunication</a> industry and the merger with DCC, Digital Communications Corporation. During this timeframe, the company produced low power wideband RF amplifier modules for use in test & measurement. In May 1981, MACOM acquired <a href="/facts/Ohio_Scientific/TCdCldEI">Ohio Scientific</a>. In the 1990s, MACOM was acquired by <a href="/facts/AMP_Inc./3HhApDqK">AMP Inc.</a>, which was in turn acquired by <a href="/facts/Tyco_Electronics/3HhApDqK">Tyco Electronics</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4">4</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a>

<h3>2000–2010</h3>
In 2001, Tyco acquired Com-Net Ericsson and placed the company under the administration of MACOM, as part of the deal, the company acquired the <a href="/facts/EDACS/xT91ePyU">EDACS</a> radio systems team and products and merged them with its own <a href="/facts/OpenSky/5pzDQuI0">OpenSky</a> resources. The deal also allowed MACOM to become the second largest two-way radio communications manufacturer in the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a> The combined company subsequently developed a <a href="/facts/Project_25/X6z6Ajef">P25</a> radio offering, and has grown its critical communications systems business to be a large player in the modern wireless two-way communications market. In June 2003, XMA Corporation, located in <a href="/facts/Manchester%2c_New_Hampshire/Qj8jQVT2">Manchester, New Hampshire</a>, purchased from MACOM the Omni Spectra line of coaxial <a href="/facts/Attenuator_(electronics)/IN6mISdl">attenuators</a> and terminations.
