"Astute's successful engineering driven demand creation, coupled with its preferred supplier status at the UK's leading Tier 1 OEMs, will help Excelsys to generate significant new opportunities, particularly for Hi-Rel COT's products," said Conor Duffy, Excelsys' European sales manager. "Astute has a proven track record in developing and maintaining excellent partner based relationships. The expert sales and applications engineering teams at Excelsys will work with Astute to provide additional power options, rapid design-in and applications support, easing system integration and helping customers meet their business needs."
Under the deal, Astute will focus on high reliability COTS power supplies, including Xgen, UltiMod and Xsolo, which are said by Excelsys to deliver best in class efficiencies and power densities. The platforms are designed for use in harsh operating environments, typically in such applications as radar systems, simulators, diagnostics, test and measurement and data processing.
