Great Reception for Canadian-Made Antennas

Guelph, ON — Featured in Canadian Defence Review

A recent Canadian Defence Review article highlights Valcom Manufacturing Group’s growing role in strengthening global defence communications. Amid increasing international defence spending, Valcom President Howard Tuffnail noted the rising demand for high-performance communication systems across Canada, the United States, and worldwide.

The feature spotlights Valcom’s contract with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to supply Tactical/Manpack Near Vertical Incidence Skywave (NVIS) antennas—advanced systems designed to maintain secure, reliable short-wave communications where traditional line-of-sight radios are limited. By reflecting radio signals off the ionosphere, these antennas enable robust connectivity for troop movements, reconnaissance, and field operations in remote or challenging conditions.

Tuffnail emphasized that Valcom is on track to fulfill the current order and is pursuing long-term agreements to expand support for allied defence initiatives. The article underscores Valcom’s continued reputation for innovation and reliability in Canadian-made military antenna systems serving forces around the world.
