SteppIR Communication Systems announced that it will discontinue producing antennas for the amateur radio market after August 1, 2025, to focus on commercial, military, and other industrial applications. The decision stems from a strategic shift toward expanding their commercial customer base, driven by increasing demand in sectors like high-frequency trading, emergency management, and IoT data collection. The company believes that wireless technology represents the future, as evidenced by their development of products like the W(IR)ELESS remote driver board, and they aim to prioritize these markets to meet evolving industry needs. While SteppIR remains committed to supporting existing amateur radio customers with service and parts, the company sees greater growth potential in commercial applications, prompting the exit from the amateur market.
