Microsemi acquires Brijot Imaging Systems

Microsemi Corporation has acquired the millimeterwave technology and related assets of privately held Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc.

Microsemi says it believes that the existing millimeterwave technology, coupled with the technology just acquired, will enable Microsemi to assume a leadership position in passive millimeter wave imaging solutions with an offering of products that play a key role in detection of weapons and contraband in airports, military branches, and government and law enforcement agencies.

"This acquisition strengthens Microsemi's millimeterwave technology offering in the 70-100GHz range," said David Hall, vice president of Microsemi's RFIS group. "The high quality products engineered by Brijot complement our product portfolio, enabling us to support existing and new customers with the highest levels of performance as industry requirements continue to evolve."
