Founded in 1993, Apogee Labs, Inc. designs and builds data acquisition, transport, testing, and specialty engineering systems for the communications and telemetry fields. The privately owned small business is known for bridging the needs of defense and aerospace test ranges—including NASA and Department of Defense users—with commercial communications infrastructure, while developing its own products in-house from design through testing. Apogee also helped develop the Range Commanders Council IRIG-218 specification used by its Telemetry over IP products.
