Networking & Communications
Broadcast
Broadcasting demands electronic solutions that deliver high-fidelity signals, uninterrupted uptime and seamless performance in live environments.
The shift from traditional analogue systems to fully digital and IP-based infrastructures introduces complexity, requiring equipment that can support higher data rates, minimise signal loss, and remain compatible across different platforms.
The broadcast industry cannot tolerate downtime or degraded performance. Equipment is often in continuous use, with stringent requirements for resilience to electrical interference, heat management, and physical durability. Broadcasters also face pressure to adapt to evolving standards such as 4K, 8K and IP-based workflows, which demand higher bandwidth and lower latency connectivity.
At GTK, we understand the importance of robust interconnects, reliable assemblies and long-life displays within broadcast equipment. Our engineering support helps customers design network systems that maintain signal integrity under demanding operating conditions.
We also support accelerated development cycles through our FastTrack prototyping service, ensuring that new systems can be brought to market quickly while meeting evolving performance requirements.
With manufacturing across the UK, Romania and the Far East, we provide scalable solutions that balance cost and quality, helping customers navigate both high-volume production and niche specialist equipment builds.
This flexibility ensures that broadcast manufacturers can adapt to changing market needs without compromising on reliability or compliance.
Telecoms
The telecoms sector is driven by relentless demand for faster networks, expanded capacity and ever-lower latency.
Electronics systems must handle enormous volumes of data with minimal downtime; environmental resilience, scalability and interoperability with legacy systems add further complexity.
Telecoms infrastructure requires electronics that can support high-speed data transfer, while remaining robust in diverse operating conditions, from temperature extremes to outdoor weather exposure.
Equipment lifespans are long, so components must remain reliable and available over many years. As networks scale, there is also pressure to keep costs under control without sacrificing performance.
At GTK, we bring experience in designing and manufacturing custom solutions that meet telecom standards and ensure signal stability, including 5G cable assemblies, embedded infrastructure and network cable assemblies.
Our engineering team works alongside customers to address wider challenges such as thermal management, miniaturisation and compliance, and our global manufacturing footprint enables customers to benefit from both local support and cost-effective high-volume production, ensuring continuity of supply.
Whether supporting large infrastructure projects or specialist networking hardware, we help telecom customers meet market demands with confidence and efficiency.
Equipment
Networking and communications equipment, from routers and servers to switches and hubs, faces the dual challenge of delivering maximum performance while fitting into increasingly compact, thermally demanding environments.
Reliability, serviceability and compliance with strict industry standards are essential, as these systems often operate 24/7.
Equipment manufacturers must balance high-speed data processing with power efficiency, heat management and physical durability. Failures are costly, not only financially but also in terms of customer trust. Designs must also anticipate evolving standards and allow scalability for future demands.
We work closely with equipment developers to provide engineering expertise that ensures solutions meet stringent requirements for reliability and longevity. Our prototyping capabilities allow customers to validate cable assembly designs early in the cycle, reducing risk and accelerating time-to-market.
Through our global manufacturing footprint, we can support both bespoke requirements for both low-volume equipment and large-scale production, with consistent quality controls throughout. This flexibility makes us an ideal partner for networking equipment providers who need to deliver high-performance systems that remain reliable under constant use.
Wireless
Wireless systems underpin modern connectivity, but they face unique challenges: interference management, power efficiency, signal integrity and reliability in diverse environments.
From consumer devices to industrial wireless applications, solutions must be compact, robust and compliant with strict regulatory frameworks.
Wireless technology must deliver consistent performance across a range of frequencies and environments, while minimising latency and power consumption. Devices are expected to be smaller, smarter and longer-lasting, all while integrating seamlessly with wider networks. This makes careful design of interconnects, assemblies and embedded systems critical.
At GTK, we support wireless OEMs with expertise in ensuring reliable signal transmission and robust product design. Our engineering team works closely with customers to address challenges such as electromagnetic compatibility, antenna placement and miniaturisation.
Our global production capabilities allow us to provide scalable solutions, from low-volume specialist wireless equipment to larger consumer-driven applications. By combining UK engineering support with manufacturing in Romania and the Far East, we help customers achieve the balance between performance, reliability and cost required in this fast-moving sector.
Location & Geo-Tagging
Locational and geo-tagging applications rely on precision, reliability and resilience.
Devices must consistently deliver accurate positional data in real-world conditions where signal interference, environmental exposure and power limitations are constant challenges.
Geo-tagging systems must perform reliably across diverse use cases, from logistics and fleet tracking to personal devices and industrial equipment. This requires electronics that can maintain signal stability, integrate seamlessly with wider communication networks, and withstand challenging conditions such as temperature extremes, vibration and humidity.
GTK’s engineering expertise helps customers design electronics that balance precision with durability. We deliver FastTrack prototyping to validate performance early and ensure compliance with strict standards.
Our global manufacturing footprint allows us to provide cost-effective, scalable solutions that meet demand requirements at every stage of your product lifecycle. By combining reliable design with agile supply chain management, we help customers in the geo-tagging sector deliver dependable products that support accurate, real-time location services.
Our Certifications
In addition to having ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 approvals, our UK manufacturing facility is approved under the UL Wiring Harness Traceability programme. This means we offer complete traceability on all of the components used in the manufacture of wiring harnesses and defence cable assemblies.
This level of traceability gives our customers the added reassurance that the right components have been used and that their supply chain can be traced. We operate a cell manufacturing process, which results in highly efficient production and high-quality products, and all inspection is in accordance with the IPC 620 standard.
GTK also holds a number of other accreditations that demonstrate our best practices in a several different areas. One such certification, Cyber Essentials, highlights our focus on cybersecurity and data management, ensuring that we safely handle our customers’ sensitive information. We also hold ISO 45001 approval, illustrating our commitment to embedding robust occupational health and safety practices across our operations.
