MAC Ltd was founded in 1986 byProfessor Raymond Steele, one of the Founding Fathers of modern-day mobilecommunications, to tackle the engineering challenges of taking mobilecommunications from an expensive and luxury item, which was only accessible tobusiness executives and professional users, to the smart phones that we seetoday that are accessible to everyone.
He achieved this by handpicking,training and mentoring exceptional electronic engineers to build a world classteam that were able to take on and solve the most difficult engineeringproblems. The current owners and senior leadership of MAC Ltd were part of thisearly team and we continue Professor Steele’s successful approach today.
Everything we do at MAC Ltd is focussed on the radio interface between wireless devices. This has included developingimproved modulation and radio access schemes, improving the ability of devicesto cope with increasing interference, developing radio spectrum sharingapproaches and providing products to test and validate radio communicationsystems. We have worked on every generation of mobile phone technology, fromthe early analogue devices to today’s 5G smart phones. We have also workedacross many sectors, including telecommunications, public safety, defence andsecurity.
Our success is built on a culture ofdiversity and inclusion and bringing together people with different experiences,backgrounds, skills, perspectives and life experiences into a cohesive andsupportive team. This is further demonstrated by converting to anEmployee-Owned Trust (EOT) in March 2025.
