Communications and Power Industries recently opened a new service center in Bangalore, India for its satellite communications customers. Communications and Power Industries (CPI) is a subsidiary of CPI International, Inc. and is a leading supplier of high-power amplifiers for satellite uplinks.

Several of CPI's key satellite communications customers are located in southern India, and the company has experienced an increase in demand for its satellite communications amplifiers in the region over the past few years as its relationships with these key customers have strengthened.

As a result, CPI is expanding its presence in southern India by opening the new service center in Bangalore. The new service center is CPI's third service and support office in India for satellite communications customers, complementing existing service offices in Kolkata in northeastern India and Delhi in northwestern India.

"CPI now operates a market-leading 15 satellite communications service centers worldwide," said Rick Gordon, director of worldwide service and support for CPI's satellite communications division. "Outstanding service has always been one of the cornerstones of our business, and we are proud our customers around the world know that there is always a CPI service and support representative available nearby for them to consult."

In addition to the three service centers in India, CPI operates 12 service centers in the Pacific Rim, Africa, Europe and the Americas for satellite communications customers.

CPI's satellite communications division manufactures and supplies high-power amplifiers and networks for satellite communications uplink applications. CPI has shipped more than 20,000 high-power amplifiers to customers in more than 150 countries, and provides a 24-hour service customer support network.
