Company Profile

Over the past 20 years, Gigawave has grown from a small specialist antenna company, employing just a handful of people, to a multi-million pound company with customers in over 100 countries.

Today, the Company designs and manufactures a wide range of specialised RF equipment for television outside broadcasts, news gathering and security applications. The company has also diversified into live streaming, satellite communications and motorsport.

The Company's founder and Chairman is Henry Barczynski...

"Our loyal and dedicated staff have worked hard over the past twenty years to build the company up into what it is today. However, Gigawave would not be the success story it is without the unstinting help and support of my wife and fellow Director, Jan Barczynski." - Henry Barczynski MM

Gigawave Head Office and Production Centre
Gigawave's reputation is based on its unique operational experience and the expertise of the people it employs. Anyone who has the opportunity to visit Gigawave's technical and production facilities cannot help but be impressed by the team of people who design and build the ever growing range of Gigawave products.

Gigawave moved to the Earls Colne Business Park at the start of the new Millennium. Since then, they have expanded considerably, moving into the newly built 14,000 square foot (400 square metre) 'Waterside' building in early 2007. The state of the art facility houses the Company's Senior Management Team, Head Office staff, and International Sales Team, as well as its Production, Test, and Despatch departments, .

Gigawave Technical Centre
In early 2010, the Gigawave Design and Development Team moved from their home in the 'Fairways' building (formerly the Gigawave Head Office) to larger 18,000 square foot (500 square metre) premises on the Earls Colne Business Park. In addition to additional office space, the new building has extensive engineering and workshop facilities capable of accommodating vehicles of any size.

Having its own in-house engineering and workshop facilities is an important development for the Company at a time when it is expanding into new markets such as motorsport technology (data and on-board camera systems), police and security (data and surveillance), and offshore exploration (data and video monitoring). For example, Gigawave engineers can install specialised equipment into a racing car or police vehicle. It also means that engineers can test out complete systems under one roof.

Gigawave Media Centre
Originally the Gigawave Head Office, the 10,500 square foot (300 square metre) 'Fairways' building will, in future, house Gigawave's media production and live streaming facilities. With computer flooring and structured wiring, the building is ideally suited to its new role. The new facility also has a 100MB uncontended link to London Telehouse and its own satellite earth station.
