RFS is launching a design contest for the packaging of our antennas!

Problem statement - Where we are:

• Some part of the packaging are not recycling-friendly


Help us to find new solutions in order to:

• Lower end to end packaging costs
• Packaging protects our products to always meets customer’s RF + Mechanical requirements
• Reduction in packaging size so more products fit in same container space
• Recycle packaging + Reduce our carbon footprint
• Easy to process and low processing time (reduce assembly, automation friendly, etc.)

Join us and the winning proposals will be presented in the Autumn.
