Academia & Research
Trusted by UK universities and national research institutes since 2000. Small quantities, fast turnaround, deep technical support.
Request a QuoteAcademic and research institutions have different procurement needs to industry — tighter budgets, smaller quantities, and a need for genuine technical collaboration rather than just a product catalogue. RF Com has been working with university RF and Microwave research groups, national labs, and quantum computing facilities since 2000.
Whether you’re building a test rig for a PhD project or commissioning components for a major research programme, we offer the same precision, traceability, and technical depth we provide to our largest defence clients — at quantities that make sense for research.
What we supply
Small Quantity Supply
No minimum order requirements. We supply single units through to small production runs for research and prototype work.
Technical Consultation
Our engineers will help you specify the right component for your research application — not just quote the nearest catalogue item.
Quantum Computing Support
Specialist supply of cryogenic-rated components for dilution refrigerator and qubit readout chains.
Millimeter Wave & Sub-mm
Components for millimeter wave and sub-millimeter wave research, including custom waveguide assemblies.
Fast Prototype Supply
Same-day despatch on stocked items — critical when you're working to a grant deadline or conference submission.
