CARLSBAD, Calif. — Linear, a provider of access control and other security systems, will consolidate the operations of Secure Wireless Inc., a radio frequency (RF) transmitter and receiver manufacturer.
Secure Wireless will remain a product offering and brand in the Linear portfolio. The consolidation is expected to be completed during the second half of 2012.
“The integration of Secure Wireless strengthens Linear’s RF development capabilities,” says Duane Paulson, senior vice president of product and market development, Linear. “It gives us more flexibility to meet the demands of our commercial security and access control customers. This consolidation gives us more resources to pursue other segments through innovation and product development.”
Secure Wireless customers will be unaffected by the merging, according to Linear. The Secure Wireless sales team will remain as the primary liaison for the product line. Technical and customer support functions, along with other business operations, will be combined at Linear’s headquarters in Carlsbad, Calif., and at its manufacturing facility in Grand Rapids, Mich.
