About Midwest Microwave Solutions

Midwest Microwave Solutions Incorporated designs and manufactures innovative and complex RF tuner and RF digitizer products for SIGINT, COMINT, SDR, and ELINT applications.  MMS is an active member in the SOSA Consortium.

MMS was incorporated in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in May 2005, by president; Phil Rezin as an RF consulting and prototyping company.  Between 2005 and 2009, Mr. Rezin and co-founder and VP, Steve Wilson designed and developed a product line of RF tuners and digitizers. In June, 2009, DSP expert Mike Horn joined MMS as a partner and the company began independent operations in Hiawatha, Iowa.

Headquartered in Hiawatha, IOWA  

In July of 2010, MMS moved operations to a new design facility in Hiawatha, Iowa.  Hiawatha is located just outside of Cedar Rapids, which serves as the headquarters for Rockwell Collins and many other technical design and manufacturing companies. This high-tech base attracts and maintains a local concentration of engineering talent and manufacturing support infrastructure.  

In August 2015, HEICO Corporation acquired a controlling share of Midwest Microwave Solutions.  HEICO is a technology-driven aerospace, defense and electronics company.  For nearly 60 years, HEICO has served these industries with innovative products and services.  HEICO's products are found on most large commercial aircraft, regional/business aircraft and on a large variety of military aircraft, targeting systems, missiles and electro-optical devices.  HEICO, at approximately $1B in annual sales and more than 4,600 Team Members, brings tremendous financial strength to this beneficial partnership.
