Radyne (RADN)
Phoenix-based Radyne is rising on the strength of systems it designs to send data and voice over satellite and microwave towers. With the explosion of sales of satellite TV in the U.S. and wireless phone service in China and elsewhere, its sales of modems for Internet service delivered by satellite and encoders to deliver signals to high-definition TV sets have doubled in the last year. Among its clients: The U.S. Defense Dept., which uses its modems for satellite-delivered communications systems, and Alabama Public TV, for which it helped build a satellite and microwave TV network. Radyne boasts satellite clients in China as well as U.S. giants PanAmSat and Intelsat. High-flying sales nearly doubled the company's revenues to $103.3 million in 2005 and lifted its stock from $7.15 to over $16 in the last year.
