At the recent DSEi exhibition, AWS Electronics signed a contract worth £1M to supply Racal Acoustics with over-moulded cable assemblies for use in latest-generation headsets used by armed forces worldwide to enable communications in noisy environments across the full range of military vehicles. AWS Electronics is a company within the AWS Group, one of the UK’s leading specialist Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) providers which delivers services for the complete electronic product life cycle from design through manufacture, to contract service and repair.
