Raymarine Selects MI Technologies to Provide an Indoor Antenna Test and Measurement Chamber

ATLANTA: MI Technologies announced today it has been selected by Raymarine (Portsmouth, UK) to supply and commission a state-of-the-art indoor antenna test and measurement chamber for the production department.
