Back in September, Filtronic announced a significant contract win with a top-tier global provider in the realm of low earth orbit satellite communications equipment. Filtronic said the contract, valued at $4.25m, pertained to the provision of its Cerus32 solid-state power amplifier module, complemented by a tailor-made control board.

As of 1410 BST, Filtroic shares were up 3.83% at 15.83p.
