Peak Communications was formed in 1995 and began by manufacturing the P701 L band frequency downconverter. The addition of the Upconverter module in 1996 enabled Peak Communications to produce the P702 L band upconverter and then also the P700 L band Up/Down converter in a single 1RU. Over time the product range has increased to include 19" rack mount and remote mount block up and down converters covering the main satellite operating frequencies including X, C and Ku Bands. The integration of these block converters into a P700 converter facilitated full frequency conversion from IF to SHF via L band. In 2003 the P7000 range of converters was launched to supersed the P700 range.

Also included in the standard range of products are test loop translators, beacon receivers, automatic UpLink power controllers, splitters/ combiners, multi-channel gain control and redundant switch systems.

A key to the growth of Peak's business has been the flexibility to produce custom built equipment based around RF technology. While Peak Communications has a range of industry excepted standard products a large percentage of sales has been achieved in the design and manufacture of customer specified equipment, including signal conditioners, switching systems, redundant amplifiers, custom frequency converters and earth station monitoring systems.

ISO9001 procedures were adopted when the company started in 1995 and continue today with formal accreditation being obtained in 2000. The ISO9001 was re-accredited in 2003.
