MAC Ltd was foundedin 1986 by Professor Raymond Steele, one of the FoundingFathers of modern-day mobile communications, to tackle theengineering challenges of taking mobile communications froman expensive and luxury item, which was only accessible tobusiness executives and professional users, to the smartphones that we see today that are accessible to everyone.
Heachieved this by hand-picking, training and mentoringexceptional electronic engineers to build a world-class teamthat were able to take on and solve the most difficultengineering problems. The current owners and seniorleadership of MAC Ltd were part of this early team and wecontinue Professor Steele’s successful approach today.
Everything we do atMAC Ltd is focussed on the radio interface between wirelessdevices. This has included developing improved modulationand radio access schemes, improving the ability of devicesto cope with increasing interference, developing radiospectrum sharing approaches and providing products to testand validate radio communication systems. We have worked onevery generation of mobile phone technology, from the earlyanalogue devices to today’s 5G smart phones. We have alsoworked across many sectors including telecommunications,public safety, defence and security.
Our success isbuilt on a culture of diversity and inclusion and bringingtogether people with different experiences, backgrounds,skills, perspectives and life experiences into a cohesiveand supportive team. This is furtherdemonstrated by converting to an Employee-Owned Trust(EOT) in March 2025.
