LABTECH LAUNCHES LABTECHNICAL.COM

Labtech, part of the Intelek Group and UK-based manufacturer of microwave printed circuit boards, announces the launch of www.Labtechnical.com , a new site dedicated to advanced microwave processing technology.

The focus of the site is a General Forum where users can exchange views, news and comments about all aspects of the PCB, RF and microwave fields. Labtech's technical team monitor the forum and contribute useful insights as applicable. Customers with large teams of designers, particularly those working from several design canters, are given password protected areas of the General Forum, where they can exchange ideas about shared design projects. In addition the site contains sections on Frequently Asked Questions such as the pros and cons of HASL versus electroless nickel immersion gold; full details of Labtech's capabilities and a directory of links to suppliers and other relevant organizations.
