RFI CSM700-5M-SMA Stud Mount Cellular Antenna

RFI is a family owned Australian business founded in 1979 as a manufacturer of two way radio antenna systems. With our origins in manufacturing over that past 30 years, our business evolved into a leading global technology solutions company in Australia.

The core business for RFI in that first decade was in the manufacture of mobile and base station antennas for the Australian two way radio market. RFI opened a manufacturing facility in Victoria, Australia, and transformed this into a state-of-the-art facility which still operates today.

It was also in the first decade RFI started selling solar panels – to power remote base station antenna sites all over rural and outback Australia.
