As a manufacturer of digital and RF Products, including frequency converters, protection switches, frequency sources and high stability references, splitters/combiners, test converters, attenuators and noise sources for the satellite communications industry, Cross Technologies, Inc. takes its position as market leader and corporate citizen with the utmost seriousness. Recognizing that the illegal diversion of high technology commodities and technical data to military, terrorist, or nuclear/missile/chemical weapons proliferation activities poses a serious risk to the national security of the United States, as well as other nations in which Cross Technologies, Inc. does business, and since export control regulations apply to virtually every aspect of our business, Cross Technologies has and will maintain a strict export control policy.
